Ok, as long as you know that that the Avg MPG is not very accurate. Also, a 12 mile drive is not going to give even a remotely accurate average.
Is it the RPM jump that you dont like or the jolt when it downshifts?
Sound: Is there a comparable acceleration example? For example, if tuned at 3500 rpm is sounds like stock at 4500 rpm. Or is it that you CAN hear it stock but CAN'T hear it programmed?
Kinda tricky when I'm not sitting there to listen to it.
