Hey, I'm using common sense here, dont listen to me. Apply for a position with GM or Ford, they need guys like you.
I can also see how makers would tune their cars "badly" so they could have worse mpg's and thus possibly sell less cars, it all makes sense now. Damn, they have been trying to fail for all this time and we're giving them bailouts, damn it America, we have been duped.
Any car can be tuned more efficiently than how it left the showroom floor.
A factory '03 Cobra bone stock down to the OEM paper filter and exhaust can be re-tuned to make 20+ more HP buy just taking some fuel out of it. Now obviously if you try to take advantage of that "20HP" then you will loose MPG however, if you drive just as you did before you re-tuned it you would see a consistent MPG increase.
Same goes for any bolt on modification, such as intake/exhaust. Especially if the car is tuned for these.. The mods would make the car capable of much more horesepower but depending on how it's driven, the mods would also increase mileage.
