Anyone noticed a drop in fuel economy? Mine's definitely dropped a little...

Not sure what you mean about throttle software upgrade. When I had my APR software installed, they said the economy would increase if driven the same.

Maybe you are driving the car harder...

APR are a software tuning company, basically the same as REVO and AMD where a different fueling map, and other bits, is loaded and gives more BHP.
