That was my pitch from the get go. I said mileage was terrible (11mpg) and that I heard of a flash availible that would help a little. She said my mileage was normal.
I'm gonna try another dealer and deepen the BS and say I'm getting like 8 MPG.

Print out the TSB thats in the tech forum for the reflash, show it to them and tell them your getting phantom CEL's, flooding and low mileage. If they dont do it then, call MNAO and complain the dealer is refusing service as quoted by the TSB.

Just had mine done today, and I think the car feels better when NOT being pushed hard. I've always been happy with the WOT acceleration, (except for the weird hesitation at 6500 rpm, which is now gone after the "L"), but the part throttle, driving around town feel was a little rough. Now, the engine seems to be more eager at low rpm, and pulls away from stops with less throttle needed.
Overall, smoother and slightly quicker, not necessarily due to a HP increase, but refinement of the maps.
Fairbanks Mazda in Longwood performed the update to correct my crank/no start condition. Call John and let him know if you have this problem, and they'll do it hassle free.
