535iM Gas mileage with EAT chip
I just did a road trip, 800 miles total, and averaged 24 mpg with the EAT chip. (OBC showed 25 mpg) I was just curious as to what others have been getting. I recently did a tune up, but she still could run a little smoother.
Thanks!!

I did a 340 mile road trip about 6 weeks ago and also averaged 24 mpg. Since then I've done a tune up and installed a 3.5 bar fuel pressure regulator. I think the mpg has gone up a wee bit more but haven't driven another long drive to confirm it.

Good thing I'm to cheap to run super unleaded. On road trips, I get a consistent 23.5 mpg with no chip, 89 octane and an auto tranny.
