I dont know if alot of you guys know about this or not... but if you reset your ECU (unplug the battery for 5 min, then plug it back in) then depending on how your driving style is, the ECU like any newer version will learn how you drive and best suite it to either give you more power, or better fuel economy. If you drive more like a grandma, the computer will react to want to give you less power, but better gas milage. not to mention reaquaint its self with the new exhaust system.

At the very least.. try it and see the differences (remember that when you reset it you teach it how YOU drive it) and it will best set its self up to match how you drive it, so drive it approperiately.

most OBDII ECU's are built like this and its a neat little trick in many other cars as well if you do an addon then do this and you should notice a bit better of results.

Because the poll only was allowed to go for X # of days.

I still consistently get better with my modded (exhaust and air filter) smart than I do with my completely stock smart. It betters it by 2mpg.
