OK, well I decided to go against my own logic and actually use the Cobb Econo map to test for gas mileage improvement (if any) on my long, arduous trip from Indiana to New Jersey. I filled up three times on the way there. Tank #1 used Cobb Econo and the second tank #2 used Cobb Stage 1-91. Tank #3 continued on Stage 1-91, but is still partially full.
Both tanks #1 and #2 both experienced 75-80mph speeds. Tank #1 contained flat terrain while Tank #2 contained mountainous terrain with many hills and valleys.
OK, the results are as follows:
Tank #1 (Cobb Econo) - 340mi - 26.3mpg
Tank #2 (Stage 1-91) - 342mi - 26.6mpg
Results? I think it's pretty self-explanitory. Cobb Econo map simply does not work, at all. In fact, given the terrain in which Stage 1-91 experienced, it is worse.
