I've seen a lot of people say they picked up a few MPG, I've seen some say they saw no difference. How likely are you to see an increase? I don't typically drive hard, I try to keep the RPM's under 2000k.

So the question is, with normal driving, how likely would it be to pick up a couple extra mpg's?

I used to drive like that as well before my tune. After the tune I find myself driving it harder lol. It honestly is just more fun to drive, it responds better to your demands...

I get about the same mileage as I did before the tune. However I used to baby it before the tune, now I drive it harder and still get the same mileage. so I would say my MPG increased if I could keep my foot out of it lol

I've been looking to get better mpg on my yukon and I tried simple muffler and CAI but it all just makes it funner to drive and you just drive harder. I want a tuner for better mpg. Wonder if black bear is better.

Actually, babying your ride can have adverse effects to your MPGs. You need to get into the mid RPM range in order to get better MPGs. That being said, if you have good quality gas, and are not hot rodding everywhere, you should see better MPGs :)
