I got the flash last week and filled up yesterday. I have used more than 1/2 tank to go 100 miles. Average speed 80mph.
I hope it improves mpg but the way I drive I doubt it will.
I did notice that it smooths out the power curve a bit. I used to get more of a kick between 6 and 7,000 rpm.

I'm half way through my second tank after the M flash and it looks like my average 16 mpg is now over 18 mpg. Definitely smoother acceleration in full auto.
