Question ECUTune v4 running 87

I finally have enough spare cash to justify the ECU upgrade.

Has anyone with the v4 ran in 87 octane mode yet? Difference in power vs 91 octane? Mileage increase?

Don't quote me on this, but from what I remember reading, you won't really gain anything by way of power or mileage, but more importantly, you won't loose anything

I swear there was a post here within the last few weeks where someone had put 3 tanks of gas through already on the 87 octane code. Still searching but I can't find it.

I remember reading something similar as well, but I looked for an hour and couldn't find it.

I switched to the 87 mode when it started to snow and have run about 4 tanks of gas so far. I figured I did not need the extra power in the winter, so I would save money on gas. I really have not seen much of a difference in the preformance yet. It still runs stronger and smoother. I can't say much for the gas mileage.It always is bad in the winter though. I only get about 12-15 MPG. So it really helps to be able to put in the 87 gas. Dave.

You can find the thread here:

It's kind of odd that it doesn't come up in a search, however the thread title is "ecu stage 1" and the only place it say's ecu tune in the thread is a link to their webpage, and since it's all one word then, it must not recognize it in search mode.
That said, I didn't use the search button, just knew which thread was being refered too.
