Im still on the fence about the superchips.

91 tune with 93 octane = Noticed power increase & stayed in OD much better on the hills around me which may yield better mpg because it doesn't kick in / out all the time.

I didn't test the 91 tow tune because I don't have a hitch to tow anyway.

The Mileage tune feels promising on 87 but like i've said earlier I won't be able to test for a good while out on constant highway. 87 tune doesn't feel much different from stock tune which im betting thats all it really is. My stock tune with 87 has always felt peppy to begin with so I rate all of three to be about the same.

Bottom line, Performance tune is the way to go to pick up some low end for overdrive. I don't gun it too much so don't notice if there are more gains than what I see. I just can't keep putting in 93 octane all the time so im back to the cheap stuff for the time being.
