Bam - so having it for four months now what are you calculating your MPG savings are? I am highly debating a tune if I can seriously get +2 MPG on my vehicle. Mine reads 12.3 and that's highly disappointing since it's advertised as 15 city/21 Highway (HA!).

x2 on that question. My wife's truck shows 12.0 mpg with 95% city driving. But is it worth the extra .25 a gallon that I am going to have to put in it?

My MPGs when from 12 to 14 in local driving.

I have only used the extreme tune so far, so not sure if the economy tune would eek some more out of it. I took it out on the highway for a little bit to see if the MPG improved any on that & I ended up right at 17 MPG for the short trip. Still have to take a longer road trip to get an accurate highway reading, but 17 is a big improvement from the 14 mpg I got during my TX to NY road trip last summer.

But is it worth the extra .25 a gallon that I am going to have to put in it?
I think it's worth it for the added performance I'm getting. :burnout:

Now we will see if I still think it's worth it as the gas prices keep rising. :yucky:

What octane fuel does your tunes require you to run? Thanks

I'm running 91 using the extreme tune, the economy tune will run on 89 octane.


Off topic @ felixgun: Lovin' the esky roof rack & color matched mirrors. Very nice!
