You know your absolutly right. would not be a good gas saving mod if you DID not mod you car to the extent where you would need a tuner. But in performance mods a tuner would be the first thing i would suggest. the reason i said this is because there are not many people that dont get carried away with modding lol...always want something faster.So i guess i was assuming that he was going to eventually mod his car. wich may not be correct. but...if he was and he wanted to get good mpg then i would suggest a tuner to be the first mod.While the mpg that i am getting now may not be excellent...i consider it excellent for running mid to high 12's
