BNR and usually a decrease in MPGs is how you drive after you get the tune and not the tunes fault. Does Trifecta offer crackle tune btw? If I drive good on my BNR I can still avg over 30mpg. I get 20 tho because I drive bad.

On my BNR tune if I drive regularly I actually get better gas mileage on the tune.. but when I first got tuned I was running like 19mpg and couldn’t figure out why, turns out it was my fault ?

I’ve been on a BNR tune for a couple years, all depends how I drive, it’s very easy to lower my MPG

I have a BNR tune, and see lower MPG, because I drive for the boosty sounds. When I’m with family, and driving conservatively, I do see much better MPG numbers. Better than when I was stock by a few.

Keep my air filter clean on the intake and I get more mpg on freeway no heavy throttle if I’m city it’s about the same if I stomp gas between lights and zip around mpg drops to as low as 18 mpg on dirty as hell air filter

Otherwise I get 30+ or 50+ mpg on 500 mile trip not stomping zip the gas

BNR did a ton of work on the gen 2 tune to make sure it got even better MPG than the stock tune if you drive it the same way

@Damon buy an autocal used that solves 300 of the price. BNR has earned my business and I’ll use them for both 3 of the 4 vehicles I own

@Damon $300 of that is for the handheld and full logging and diagnostics suite of software

@Shawn I think I should’ve joined this group before jumping the gun

Best advice I can give, before you purchase anything in the future ask other members of the group what products they like and why that’s what I did, I had a 2015 malibu 2.0T that was trifecta tuned and it was great but my BNR tuned 2.0T would runaway from it and I’m only on my “base map”
