Volo Gas Saver "Experiment"

![Default](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I installed a Volo FS1 800 miles ago and have seen no difference at all in fuel economy. I average 12.5 mpg getting me 240-260 miles per tank. I had read on the forum it takes 500 miles for Volo to start working so I gave it that much but still don't see any gains. I have reset the chip once at 600 miles which didn't seem to make any difference. Any ideas?

I noticed a difference in the idle the first time I started it up once the chip programmed, and then saw mileage gains right away....my first few tanks I got an average of 360 miles (90% highway driving)....since then I have added a roof rack and it is mainly used for city driving so I am back down to 12-14 mpg.

ylodiscoII, first thanks so much for all of the information. I have a 2003 Disco II HSE and was looking into that Volo Chip thing, but I'm so scared to install it myself. It looks like I have to cut the wires and my husband is flipping out that I'm even considering doing it (we are both not electric-type people ) (lol)...any tips on where I can take it to have it installed? Also, I hope I don't sound too ignorant but what's the resonator and how do I turn it off??? THanks. :-)

The resonator is the small, muffler like cylinder right behind/or in front of the tailpipe....and you can't turn it off, you cut it off. I'm in good with an exhaust guy next door to my work so I had them chop mine off and add a small straight pipe.
The FS3 is the newer (and more expensive) version of the FS1, it wasn't available yet when I bought my FS1.

I'm already at 180 miles and it just hit the 1/2 tank line..... we'll see how the other half goes though. This is my first full tank that I put in; $70/tank hurt a little. Expected to get worse this summer from what I hear
