Fewer horses save fuel
Dear Editor,
We’ve had a number of inquiries about reprogramming engine horsepower. In some cases, engine hardware changes are necessary.
In the majority of cases, only reprogramming is required.
Resetting horsepower is a simple matter and can result in meaningful fuel savings. Changing horsepower back is also easy to do.
Reduced horsepower combined with fuel efficient driving can have a significant impact on fuel consumption.
