Don't think I'm calling you out by posting my assumption....(Again, correct me if I'm wrong) but I was talking about the TOM's Revised ECU/Program being specifically designed for a 2GIS with a TOM's supercharger because the program will obviously need to modify our stock settings & ratio's to meet the needs of it now being FI, which in turn, those settings probably wouldn't be recommended for a semi-stock 2GIS........Unless there are two different programs available...One being for NA & the other being for FI.......That's the question that we need to have answered.

Also...
I promise your reduction in mileage has nothing to do with the new intake. Fuel economy naturally drops off when it gets colder, and it looks like you're in a pretty cold area, right? Even down in Texas, my highway mileage has dropped significantly over the past couple months, and I haven't changed a thing. Actually, I just did a 400 mile trip over the weekend, and I didn't get any better mileage than you.
You also need to keep in mind that there is a HUGE difference in economy between 60, 70, and 80 MPH. I would be that you would easily average 30+ MPG with the cruise set at 60 MPH. The difference for me between 60 MPH and 80 MPH is almost 10 MPG.

I got excited when I saw my avg in the 20's on the highway, only to look back down a few minutes later & it was back down to 15-16...(13-14 within the city)
I've seen these threads before....BS....I had an IS250 loaner car once...Worst 3 days ever(HAHA JK!)...there is a difference in MPG though, but not that big of a difference.
My understanding is that cold fuel mixed with cold air doesn't atomize as well, so the efficiency drops even though power is increased. My SWAG is that if it is 30 degrees cooler, you might have to add 7% more fuel to mix with 5% more oxygen, so you can get 4% more power with 10% worse fuel economy.
Could there be a vehicular homicide in your future? I'm sure it would take triple digit speeds to get 15-16 on the highway.

Last February I got a 131mph speeding ticket & November 4th I got a 141mph speeding ticket within a mile from eachother in a 60mph zone..(Dallas North Tollway & Parker) The officer knocked the 141mph ticket down to a 101 because I did some name dropping on some other Dallas Police officers but there really is no excuse for going that fast & I should have gone to jail for both of them. :-/
I was originally going to get an '07 328i Beemer because I know I am a habitual speeder & I know that 2.8L is a dog of a motor....but my dad is the one who convinced me to get the 306hp Lexus lol I guess him having a new M6 & a Maserati doesn't help my issue either

If you are talking about the rings that light up around the tachometer and speedometer, you can turn those off using the display settings buttons. that was something I did immediately after buying the car.
anyway, injen owners, did u or ever notice u lost power when switching to Injen? Also, how does it sound like? I heard it is similar to a Fujita...that true??
I am about to purchase my injen next week and have a few doubts....

i know u can disable the orange rings that you can custom set yourself. what about the red ring that appears when you hit 100mph. isnt that manufacture preprogrammed?
