These guys need better editors...

So I was doing some research on tuning for fuel economy and found this website. I did a quick scan and found this hilarious mistake. Apparently these guys designed their fuel economy retunes to actually reduce your MPG. And they wonder why sales have been slow?

Well at least now the can use that in a court case if they get sued. " It clearly states right there that you will get less MPG ! "
