i understand that putting in a new TC or a TC with a new stall setting can increase the gas consumption/lower the mpg rating...

but say if i'm driving long distances and keep steady at 65 mph... does this affect the mpg?

 

you should not notice a difference.

My mileage on the highway is the same after my PI TC which I've had for a year now.

 

your RPM should still be the same at highway. Its only when you accelerate where the torque convertor slips more.

 

awesomeeee thanks!

 

OH, and i live in NYC... winters with snow...

would it make sense to put in the TC now?? no right? imma spin out like crazy in the winter

but that's ok, cuz the snow ECT button works like a charm... lol

 

with snow mode the car is still like snail on my gs400 with tc, so i guess that's a good thing

but yeah, you should be fine with just crusing speed. it usually kills gas bad only when you floor it

 

i guess imma kill mad gas then haha

 

that's ok, most of went through that "training" in the beginning
