Loaded in the tow safe from a Superchip tuner. MPG's went way up then my bubble was burst when i heard those readings are not valid.
Does a tuner screw with the mpg computer?

most tuners confuse the mpg lie o meter
becasue the tuners lie to the ecm to make it do things not normal
my predator was close (2-3 Mpg) with the tow load and 65hp load, but the 85 and 100 were way off

OK i checked my MPG's of 16.2 towing the boat 3500lbs on the highway.
Did some good old cipering and be dang gone my calculations were with in .2 of the computer. Will need to do more testing to see if it was a fluke. I am in the tow safe mode.

I would suspect all do it to a degree, probably some worse than othersbama-six-gun said:
