There are different prices for each tune type (traditional, scan cable, AutoCal and inperson).

Got my '02 Denali done via Autocal a month ago and it's much more fun to drive now but I'm getting about 10MPG in city driving since I can't keep my foot out of it. Lots more power, much better shifting.

I was looking on their website and am hoping to get mine done this spring in Indy if they have the event. A lot of people have said mileage has either stayed the same or gone down because of the added power and fun factor of driving. I am hoping that ours will go up as I drive pretty reasonably most of the time.

That was my experience. It stayed about the same but I drive it harder now. I used to baby it everywhere with the "it's a dang bus, not going anywhere fast" mentality lol. Got the tune and yea I have alot more fun driving it now lol

I've got highway trips that's wat I wonder about.

Yeah, we drive this thing quite a bit... Have a trip to GA planned for Thanksgiving and possibly Dallas to see some family. Better cruising mileage would be amazing!

I was the same way when I first tuned my Powerstroke. It was a complete night and day difference stock vs. tuned. Once the newness wore off, I started driving pretty sensibly again and got decent mileage. One time, completely open highway I got 20.62 hand calculated. For a 8,000 pound truck, I was very happy.

I have a 275 mile one way trip every month 0r so to pick up my daughter and I always take the yukon cuz she watches her movies. So that's the only time I worry bout mileage rly. I always want to get the best possible but it is a yukon after all.

With 3.73 gears and 285 70 17s, I am at about 74 mph at 2000 rpm.

I have so much more power now, that under normal conditions I am barely touching the throttle.
I'm having to learn more right foot finesse to keep from speeding and keep the exhaust growl down.

So after the tune do you feel the need to do go to 4.10 gears? After going to 285 70's (also with 3.73) the Tahoe just feels very under powered now. I'm trying to decide if a tune will help get me back closer to normal or if I should just look into new gears.
