Put it on trail it give you the most throttle control which helps you out with mpg it might feel slower but it's not and premium is a waste of time

Should have noted this is my daily driver. What. Is the issue with preium?
Trail still the optimal setting?

Not sure if this was asked (sorry if it has), but I am running the Trail Dash. Is there a big difference between the different tuners of is it just preference?
I'm asking cause my rig came with the Trail Dash and it's my 1st tuner.

I have had mine for a year. I need to try out the trail tune. Never even attempted it for onroad. I had it on stock until a few months ago (didn't trust the program, and wanted others to use their tunes first). Never tried Premium.

I have it on Regular tune now. It doesn't save in MPG, actually uses more. I have an automatic, and the tuner wants to hold the gear at it's most powerful RPM. Less shifting, but also less MPG.

I'm thinking of going to Stock, but may try Trail first.

Thx Guys, Direct feedback from real time users is the BEST.. I have mine set on Stock now and per the BD instructions you shoudl to run 85+ octane. Regular fuel in Raleigh NC is 87, so i guess i'm still good with Regular. Think I'll try the "trail setting" this weekend. Can anyone note what the basic differences should be with Trail over Regular? I called BD tech support, told them i thought that listing the possible results from each settign woudl have been nice to note in the instuctions. I think i'll check out the Web Site again.

You will notice decreased throttle response it might feel like a dog at first but it's not just have to push the throttle a little harder but allows for more pin point throttle

I installed the BD GT in my 11' Rubi last week. I've had it set on the premium tune and love it. I have seen an increase of 2-4 mpg depending on how I drive it. On the other hand I have seen a decrease also with my foot in it lol!
