I wasn't really expecting this. The reflash, if I understand correctly, leans out the air-fuel ratio slightly, advances timings slightly, lowers vtec, and increases redline. I did not think this would effect mpgs at all in a negative way. Of course, if I'm stomping on the gas more often, it will be lower. However, I am comparing pure highway miles with cruise set. Before the reflash, I would get 31 mpg highway in calm weather. slightly more with a tailwind and slightly less with a headwind, obviously. After the reflash, I get 29 mpg in calm weather.
I am comparing the same ~120 mile stretch of road (driving to my parents place). Cruise set at the same speed ~78 mph.
Anyone else have similar results? Everything else is stock on my '06 TSX AT except a K&N airfilter.
