My E-Cut...Need A Straight Answer I have an E-Cutout on my TA...other mods in sig.
Some people tell me w/ the cutout open it does use more fuel.
Some say it doesnt.
The question
With the cutout open does it use more fuel???
Right now my cutout is closed because w/the air on, that I know uses more fuel. I dont need to be filling up my tank 2X a week.

it might use a tad bit more, but it shouldn't really be all that noticable. But then again, i only run mine with the cutout open from time to time, and usually not more than a day or two, then i close it back up.

I would think that it is only going to change like 2 mpg if that and plus if your worried about that go buy yourself a scooter your driving a v-8 sports car for god sake. Just my two cents

Your right foot, on the right pedal will have a far greater impact on fuel mileage then having your cutout open or closed. If anything, I'd say having the cutout open or closed won't make anykind of measurable difference.

As far as keeping the cut-out closed I really didnt see much of a difference...I did notice the car is a tad bit faster though.
I drive the hell out of my car every single day even if its to the mailbox down the street haha.
