I want one of those omnivorous engines that the military has. You can feed those any flammable liquid, in any mix (IIRC) and they will run. Diesel, Kerosene, Jet-A, JP1, gasoline, alcohol... That would be an awesome engine. What a way to save money, run whatever fuel is cheapest. Or brew your own hooch, and share a jug with your ride! *hic*

i believe that those multi fuel vehicles have to still be a decent amount of
diesel in the mix.. i could be way off here too

Yeah they can use most fuels but putting the cheapest fuel in them will not necessarily save you money. At present RUG is 3.49 and Diesel is 4.09 but RUG will only get you about half of the mileage of the good stuff.

Empirically, CRUISE is economical only on level flat terrain - hilly terrain, it will eat you out of house and home - ECM only understands maintaining SET speed, uses RESUME to attain that goal, no matter what the cost - try CRUISE'ing at 60mph, tap the brakes, slow down to 35mph, then hit RESUME - ECM assumes you just got the hi-sign from the rich teeny-bopper driving the street-racer in the next lane: full-W-O-T gonads-to-the-wall acceleration to previously-set speed - RESUME ain't good fer economy, so CRUISE is not always yer miracle economizer - for an even greater thrill, try that CRUISE-slowdown-RESUME thing towing a heavy trailer

Ahhh yeah done that plenty of times. Seems like the little Jeep will accelerate better using the resume or by tapping the buttom to increase speed than if I mashed the accelerator myself. Eh either way doesn't make to much of a difference to me. Just thought it was interesting. I creepy up on 29mpg now with the weather be warmer also.

Hi folks, just a minor request to keep this thread on-topic on the Inmotion tunes. Thanks!

So, only one person has installed the Inmotion ecu, and he drives like a bat out of hell, so no mileage improvement. Is that right? It's hard to get a handle on the value of the reflash with such little feedback. Anyone else have input?

I've sent my ECU back for a new "stage 1.5" tune which is partway between the ECO-tune and the stage 2 tune. Stay "tuned"...

Interested to know what happened.
I better get the Suncoast TC done quick.
My feet are getting twitchy, got a full tank of fuel.

I got the tune a few months ago, millage went down. I do drive it like a nutjob. yet my tc is failing too... i dont know if that would take the mpg average for worst.
I was geting in betwen 28-29 before the tune and arround 24 after.

If you don`t mind loosing a few mpg, is totally worth it. But, I can`t tell if i lost the mpg becouse of the tc starting to fail, the tune or me steping on it more. Or all 3 con vined.
