I have a 2001 24v that's stock except for a 4" turbo back exhaust. Normally straight hyway driving at 70mph will get me 19mpg. Did straight hyway with the mileage tune and it came out to 17.5mpg. A loss. Hand calculated.

I REALLY would like to know how superchips got the 10-15% improvement with this tune in their testing.

I will forward this info to the calibrators to get their opinion.

What king of mpg's do you get with the perf tune?

What is the tuners serial number.

Serial number is 1148277

I haven't tried the performance tune yet. I put it on performance tow to see how it does for mileage. Out of the three performance tunes, which one would you guess has the best chance for mileage gains if you keep your foot out of it?

I really depends on how you drive the truck, but up until the MXS tune the perf mode was the best in gaining MPG.

I would like you to try the perf tune for mileage. Let us know how it goes, I will let them know when you test it.
