Escape Tuning Update
#18
Actually Kev, you might be right. I thought I noticed some bad economy going home that run that I didn't suffer going home again on Wednesday night.

Last Saturday's gas - Sunoco on Scarlett Rd. Old friends of the family own that place. Never thought their gas was that bad before. Tune was pulled in King City and truck was driven home stock the rest of the way (~320 KMs).

Wednesday's gas - Esso at Scarlett Rd. / Edenbridge. Considerably better fuel economy with pretty much the same driving patterns, if not even harder, on the way home that day.

For comparison's sake, I stomped on it when I merged back with 400 N/B traffic and it was a clean pull all the way to the 1-2 WOT shift. I dunno... combo of bad gas and the tune I guess.

I'm still thinking of what to write today. I don't want to come off as an asshole, but after driving it stock for a few days again, I'm not sure the fuel savings require such extreme measures on my part. I'll mull it over some more with a coffee :)
