Fuel Milage MPG Gains from Ford ProCal Performance Tune

[Squatch]

Nope! It may be due to getting into the boost more after the tune...

Yeah, as others have said…. I’m not sure how you were only getting 14.9.

I’ve been fairly easily eclipsing 20 mpg.

Haven’t tuned yet. But getting 2-2.5mpg better running 93. Which can be expected

We gained 2 mpg on ours according to the dash. But I also did an intake due to the factory filter being collapsed….. the dealer we purchased it from said they serviced it top to bottom blah blah blah. It was the OE filter with 55k on it!!

The shop owner in me checked it when we got home and I discovered that, so it was grounds to buy a procal and intake immediately . The most impressive part is how it shifts now, the stock strategy is garbage imo

I purchased the Performance Tune for my 22 Base Manual a while back. I’ve been very happy with it with it overall and noticed my average MPG has gone up. The first pic is from December 23 when I went from Denver to Wichita and back. The second is after the tune and several trips between Denver and Colorado Springs. Almost exclusively highway driving. Is anyone else seeing these kind of results?

Dec 23 = 14.9
Oct 24 = 19.8

Something doesn't feel right. Even accounting for winter blend, that is horrendous MPG "before." I can drive my Badlands 2.7 at 89 MPH and trounce that. And that is noticeably worse than if I stick to lower speeds. I've hit up to 22 when driving carefully and averaging 70. But I typically cannot maintain that with elevation changes and higher speeds. This makes me believe there were other factors involved and not accounted for.

I think it has to be those flyover state winds. That stuff is crazy, I could see a consistent headwind knocking mpg down 5+.

People add tunes and power for MPG’s….on a convertible box with no aerodynamics…..

No tuner but I assure you my intentions are very different…

So, i just uploaded the Performance Tuner on my 23 Big Bend 2.3 ecoboost. I'm hoping to see improvements like that. I already notice the pep in the pedal, which I'm trying to control to help with that improvement, ha.

I saw an increase in my 2.3 manual badlands of about 2mpg (almost 4mpg while towing) doing the tune. No increase in milage on my new 2.7 auto badlands, unfortunately.

The MPG people brag about on this site continues to baffle me. I wish I lived on the planet you guys seem to live on. I have a 2.7 Auto 4 door Heritage and I have put 93 octane in it from the very beginning. I have never broken 17 mpg on any tank of gas.
I was so excited for the Procal Tune but after the update this summer that took away the "remembering the auto start/stop off" the tune is almost totally pointless. There was the slightest barely noticable change in shift points but otherwise it doesn't feel faster. I have noticed no increase in throttle response. I have zero increase in MPG. It was a complete waste of money in my opinion.
No matter what mode whether it be normal or Sport, normal traffic or highway, I have never seen anything over 16.5 MPG. Ever.

Base sasquatch 2.7 auto 19.5 avg on regular gas. An I thought that was bad mileage!

All I can say is that I took a cross country trip West to East and back, on 91, then when refueling with 93, in other states, I was averaging around 20 to 22 MPG cruising between 75 -80 MPH, I loved it, now back home in SoCal using 91 n now averaging 17.9 to 19.8 MPG, so x country seems to make my Bronco better. 22 B-WT.

I just had to read this thread for kicks, if you have a performance tune, putting 91-93 in it and you get better MPG, you are just not driving the peformance tune. 2.7 SAS here and I have never gotten more than 13 mpg around town, on the highway maybe 16 is the average. I never use Eco mode. I got the performance tune, intake, exhaust so that it shifts better and has more power so I can really drive it, not get better MPG. I leave that for the Tesla to balance out my carbon footprint

 

[burgerking]

I already had the JB4 tune, I added the procal mostly for the auto rev match. I wasn't expecting the slightly better MPG but I'm not complaining about it either.

When my transmission was first learning and I had also switched tires to the 33.5" tires on day 2 of ownership, I was getting about 13 mpg, which slowly resolved over 1k miles. It was ugly. As most people know, I can exceed 23 mpg with the right setup using 4A, ACC, and sport mode at over 70 mpg... But there were ugly days in the beginning.
