Hondata drivers... have you experienced a decrease in MPG?

I'm wondering will the increase in power decrease the MPG.

You're gonna get flamed for this. Just warning ya. Do a search for hondata reflash reviews and you'll see what they had to say about that issue.

Believe it or not, my mileage has actually been up since the reflash.

My fillups since the reflash have been: 26.7mpg, 26.3mpg, 28.4mpg, 27.0mpg, and 29.6mpg. Although, I haven't done as much city driving as before. I definitely can say there has been no decrease in mileage.

I had the same results when I had my reflash. No decrease in gas mileage and even a small increase if I wasn't driving hard. Having the reflash makes you want to rev high more often though. This ends up leading to the worse gas mileage that some people experience. The same thing can happen when you get a CAI too though.
