Default MPG increase ?

i had my 07 reprogrammed on saturday for the "throttle hesitation" .

it is much better now at all speeds when it comes to throtlte control. and..................

is it my imagination or wishful thinking that i am seeing an increase in average MPG ?

any "techy" forum members know why this might be ? thanks.

outty, how was the acceleration felt b4 the reprogram? Does the rpm stays at 1000 but you have to step it in in order to accelerate more?

I didn't notice any change in my MPG since the reflash.

tufduck........... before the re-program there was a "lag".

vehicle would do nothing irregardless of how far you pushed the pedal.

that was the worst part , if you had the pedal "down too far" when it finally hit, you could accelerate very hard and sudden....

I noticed an increase in MPG per the display. I think this is due to the fact that the pedal is more responsive and does not require the mash on the pedal floor to move.

Got my reflash yesterday, took the techs 15 minutes. Drives like a whole different car, much smoother now. The service manager didn't know about the reflash because it's not coming up on Mitsubishi's official notice to the service departments. But when he talked with the techs, they knew all about it.

Anyway, also got rid of the OEM tires today because I noticed a lot of wheel spin in wet conditions. Got the Michelin Hydroedge, same size. They got good reviews on TireRack.
