    So I've had this in about a week and admittedly not a ton of data yet, however I am seeing noticeable differences.

    I thought that City 1 or 2 would likely be a good setup having read this on other pages, but I'm finding with my personal driving that Sport 1 is giving me the best gas mileage and responsiveness. Same route same time of day I was getting 15.9 avg with City 2 or 1 and same drive length, with sport 1 I was at 17.9. I've noticed it a couple times where the vehicle does seem to report better numbers overall with the Sport 1 setting. I would have thought the reverse just based on other vehicles sport settings I've used in the past.

    Anyone want to share their personal experiences?

    It's just very interesting to see the differences. I don't have a lot of data yet, but I will be keeping track.

    Thanks!

    If you are trying to maximize mpg, I would probably add more time or trips to get better averages. Two miles per gallon improvement seems too good to be true.

    Agreed, just trying to get a feel for what is a happy medium. I don't need it to drive like a BMW, just have more throttle response than it does natively without sucking too much gas. Freeway it seems pretty decent about 19 on average if I'm not punching it. It's funny my 2006 4runner use to get the same mileage.

    Just curious, do you have an SR5 or Off Road?

    I have been playing with different settings as well, and I've stuck the longest on Sport -1. It kind of gives you that stock feel, with the punch when you need it!

    Cheers,

    Have you had any issues when using the hill decent or different off-road modes with the throttle controller? I always worried about their interaction together.

    My Pedal Commander is still in its box ! I must admit when I went from a SUV to the 4RNR. The truck seemed sluggish at first. Not sure if I will install it. Perhaps if I can :burnrubber:make cool parking lot artwork fast ! :D:D
