Yes I had figured after I sent my message that it's probably not a wise idea to show up without an appointment :P No worries though

I spoke to Marty a week ago and he suggested some stuff. I've already done the first two suggestions, and the third was swap the fuel filter. (The filter on my car is 5 years old) The filter only has 5kish miles on it, but it's an 8 dollar part from Rockauto and OEM so worth a shot. I hope to...

It's entirely possible you are right - I'm also a stubborn fella and I would really like to think I could squeeze more MPGs out of this 2 ton hunk of steel. At worst, I'll be tuning up the crap outta this car, so maybe not a complete fool's errand. :P

Just checked the plugs in fact. They look good, ditto for the coils. I have yet to service the brakes or calipers since my purchase of it last year although it doesn’t feel like anything is wrong on the brake side of things. I gave him a call and left a voice message and let him know what’s up...

Nope. I went a full tank going full grandpa-light-on-the-pedal once or twice and still only managed 15. I drive it mildly spirited and I still (sometimes) get as low as 10. Usually 12-15 though. Who would have thought this thing managed the same fuel economy of my three ton hightop Chevy...

Dividing the miles driven on the trip odometer (reset it every tank) by the gas pumped into the car next time I fill up. I got 12ish MPG on my last tank. Tires are factory size.

I'll put them on the list, in that case.

It's effectively stock. I assumed 15 was normal for NA but I guess not. My old '09 SAP CVPI with 3.27s managed a solid 20-25 in my town. Luckily I live about an hour away from Mo's; I assume I just gotta give his shop the call and let him know what's up? Now I'm getting a bit worried...

I got some stuff on Saturday, but I'll see if I can't swing by for a bit if I can't stay for breakfast. See y'all there, hopefully.

Hey y'all, sorry it's been so long. I totally forget about this thread, but it's been several months that I've had my Marty tune and I absolutely love it. I manage 15 mpg in my area in most of my tanks, although I still get as low as 10 sometimes, but I suspect that's just from the geography...

Yup! She's 18 now! Just barely celebrated it since I got the certificate just 2 days prior.

Shoot. Just missed y'all. Maybe I can pull up to the next one.

I have a confession to make. When I drive my '97 Express Conversion van I go the speed limit or a bit under because it's so damn slow that I forget to look at the speedometer. When I drive my Marauder I never have to check since I'm always going 10 over! EDIT: My lord. I just realized that was...

All is well as long as your A/C works! The first few months of ownership my A/C barely worked which was great in the summer heat but I finally got around to topping off the refrigerant a few months ago and she's ice cold.

See, now that it’s winter down here in GA we get sub-zero temperatures such as 55 degrees or maybe even 40!

Maybe the godawful heat in the south is worth being able to drive year-round ;)

This is really cool. I'd like to something like this someday, get rid of that 4 speed slushbox and stick in an auto with more forward speeds.

Wow. She's cherry. Nice find friend, I got mine at 35k.

Best part of the tune is definitely how hard the transmission shifts when I mash the gas :D
