| Modern technology controls fuel usage in most vehicles on our roads today. |
| The tuner needs to ensure that all the control mechanisms are in good working condition and that all the variables have been properly optimized. |
Generally the vehicles are un-tunable and need to be changed or kitted with equipment that allows adjustment to do the necessary optimization for fuel efficiency and economy. |
| Many people believe that lean or less fuel is better, don't be fooled. |
| There are scientifically proven air fuel ratios and ignition timing settings that are correct for part load or light throttle low RPM driving styles as there are similar settings for high RPM fuller throttle type styles. |
| There are no “in-betweens” or “almost rights”. |
| All our SAC shops are properly equipped and staffed to optimize most old or new model vehicles and are able to test the desired result with high levels of accuracy. |
| Again the perception when it comes to power and torque, is the more you have on tap the heavier on fuel, definitely not, the more power available that is not being abused the better the fuel consumption. |
Properly matched power curves and driving styles usually result in the best combination of desire and consumption. |
Be sure that you understand the characteristics of your vehicles power delivery and drive accordingly. |
| In short the engine needs to be happy and within its power zone or bond. |
