Title: Fuel economy tune Post by: Capt. Obvious on August 01, 2011, 11:56:23 AM I often take my S4 on long road trips and I was thinking it'd be nice to have a "maximum fuel economy" tune I could load up for times like that. Obviously, staying out of boost is the best way to keep the fuel consumption in check, but what are some other things I should look at/tweak in order to make a fuel economy tune?
I'd like to still retain some power for passing and pulling hills, so I guess most of the attention for the tune would be with low-load conditions. Any insights/ideas? Title: Re: Fuel economy tune Post by: phila_dot on August 01, 2011, 12:19:38 PM Have you read this thread:

It has though remarkable resoults in country roads when cruising at lower speeds such us 70-90 kmh. Try to increase your timing a bit and keep lambda at 1.10 - 1.14. Post the resaults. It would be interesting to see what happens i bigger engines than 1.8t.
