Stupid HKS FCON?... and you're asking if there is a way to tune it down?... Your car must be running like crap if your're consuming that much fuel. What is your idle RPM?

Yes, there are a couple of things you can check, although I think you have other issues. Open the
F-CON up and you should see an adjustment screw numbered 1 thru 9. In addition make sure you have the correct "ROM", if not change it. In the US it should be labled "E149"(stock) or "E1102"(sport turbo).

is the F-Con programmable? I'd imagine it is, kinda like the Haltech? I want to get one, but don't know much about ECU's

if you romp on it, your not going to get good mileage, period. I can get over 300 miles to a tank on my car and have more mods. You shouldnt have to lean the fcon, you should relax the right foot.

I floor mine around all day long and still get 325km to 3/4 tank. (200 miles?) so your foot is not your problem. try unpluging the f-con and taking it easy and see if it gets better.
