First of all, I'm going to point out a few things here for you.
DPF deletes are for off-road use- period. There is a disclaimer signed for every single tuner that goes out the door; whether or not users actually read it or just sign and fax is not up to me.
Given that it is illegal not only to use DPF deletes on public highways, but for us to manufacture and sell a device knowingly to be used in an illegal fashion- hence the need for the disclaimer.
We can't control what really happens with them- that is up to the customer. But putting a huge marketing claim, a guarantee of mileage increase, ect is a HUGE liability that my company (and many others) will not take with the EPA or other government entities in order to "humor" users simply seeking extra mileage
Most trucks do see a mileage increase- whether those economy increases are seen on-road or off-road are out of our control. We make that very, very clear with the disclaimer if it is actually ready.
With that said, our priority with ANY AND ALL DPF DELETE TUNING will be for competition use at the race track or sled pulling, period.
Whether some people are "tired" of seeing timeslips or burnouts is irrelevant- the gods honest truth is that more of our business at the moment is coming from performance driven interests than fuel economy and driving Ms. Daisy on sunday. For legal purposes, it will remain that way. All complaints with this policy can be mailed to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC.
I'm sure I could make more money marketing and designing a product strictly for on-road and illegal use- just as I could sell dope or illegal weapons and get rich. But I will not lose my business over it. Track use is legal; road use isn't. 18-20MPG consistently (as in not just one tank of fuel- on average) with a DPF on the truck, just isn't going to happen. Physics kicks in and creates an unreasonable situation you are asking for. Read around at mileage results on "clean" tuners such as the Banks, ect and you'll see just how much good they do.
The matter of fact is that higher HP tunes will get better fuel mileage, period. However right now our market is driven by performance- there are only so many people on our staff and only so many hours in a day. Until the performance market changes, our priority with DPF delete tuning will be in running what some people obviously consider "silly" competition use.
There is a reason that no one is listening to what you are complaining of. Legally, we cant. Regardless of what goes on behind the computer screen.
