Default How to get a better milleage with full tank?

I am running stage 3- and having problem to complete trips without having to stop on a gaz station. Car is doing aroung 125 miles per full tank, and that is bloody annoying. With the stage one the car was doing 200 miles. And that is a driveway.
If I do some hard driving, I can get 100 miles with a full tank.

Could a oil change help me here?
Do you think the AMD mapping is too rich?

I run a 95 Oct Podium gaz and 235/ 40 - 18.

tks in advance

Default Something doesn't sound right. I get close to 300 miles per tank.

No way you should be getting less than 200 even with larger tires.

Default Something is wrong! Unless you're really driving WOT ALL the time. ........

The worst I've gotten out of a full tank was ~150 miles but that was when I filled up with 100 octane and probably drove WOT the entire tank!

Now, stage III, I get ~17-18mpg and I'm not driving like a granny.

"Do you think the AMD mapping is too rich? " It sure sounds like it.

No way it should be that bad. Maybe it's your tank level sensor?
