IMO power never comes together with fuel efficiency. You can't have best of both worlds. Think about it!

unless its a vw diesel. performance chips for them usually increase torque/ hp slightly/ and fuel economy.


but thats turbodiesels so its a different ballpark.

These devices are nothing more than a resistor that tricks the ECU into richening the air fuel mixture. They do work to a certain extent, but at the expense of fuel economy.

The only power and fuel economy is usually a turbo. But you don't get all that power, AT THAT MOMENT, with fuel economy. Sorry....

I trippled my HP and my gas milage is about half... went from 20mpg to about 10mpg avg.

good luck

They make your car feel more powerful by fooling your car into thinking you're at 100% throttle when you only have the gas pushed to 50% giving the illusion of extra power.
