no joke euter. I reset it every time I gas up which is almost every 2 weeks. I was babying it past while though.
Before gas became $1.30 I was sitting at 12.8
The base balt is listed as 10.00 from chevy.

Yup, you can really change the economy of this car by your driving habits. Pre stage 2 ,I constantly got 9.1-9.3 in the city and now I get in the 10's cause it's summer and I have stage 2 - say no more lol.
This weekend:
Highway: 7.1 L/100Kms Sitting at about 108 KpH for the 400km trip to the cabin.
Was a nice drive there - not like today's crazy rainstorm...
From GMCanada.com:
Estimated Fuel Economy
Mi. / imp.gal. (city / hwy / combined):
L / 100 km (city / hwy / combined):
2.2L:
auto: 29 / 43 / 34
man: 31 / 48 / 37
auto: 9.6 / 6.6 / 8.3
man: 9.2 / 5.9 / 7.7
2.4L:
auto: 30 / 42 / 34
man: 30 / 45 / 35
auto: 9.4 / 6.7 / 8.2
man: 9.4 / 6.3 / 8.0
2.0L:
27 / 40 / 31
10.5 / 7.1 / 9.0
The thing I like is that the 2.0L numbers seem to fit perfectly with Stage 2....hmmmmm......more weight to the theory that it was designed that way from the start? lol....

Wow some guy in civic si hammered on his gas beside me as my light went green.... I think I passed him while my tires where still spinning 
Then at the next light some jerk in an orange cobalt with custom grill got my hopes up but decided to try and stall off the line......
love ya ryan
Racing below the speed limit is the best.

I can do it at will now like as if it is raining outside when it is actually bone dry. HPT FTW!!
I/C mods are next. I can get pretty heat soaked as others predicted (Kenny)

I was driving home yesterday and it had rained on the highway but wasn't raining when I got to the section. The road was a darker colour but not really wet. In 2nd gear I went WOT and when I hit 5500+rpm tires spin until i shift. My tires arn't bald either 
On dry roads I can't do it though.
Dry roads I launch quite happilly at 3200 rpm - 3400 rpm. Tires grab nicely. Good spin still but very controllable.
Come for a ride with me sometime this week snipes or else ride with me on sunday for cruise night if it is nice out.
Edit: Grats on getting the tune set up right
