I've found on the highway the 91 tune was close to if not better than mileage (of course the 91 costs more). Somewhat recently with the start of colder weather here I switched from running the 91 tune pretty much all the time to the mileage tune. Driving around town and the 10-15 minute drive to work here in Jersey I saw a huge increase. I went from 10-11mpg average during the week to mid 14's. It seems to me you see a much bigger benefit from the mileage tune in city driving conditions.

The mileage tune is 87, it's still better than stock for power and you can still change the WOT shift points too. I left them up pretty high, it definitely lost some oomph from the 91 tune but it doesn't feel slow.

Ah geez I don't remember, I'd have to tune it again and check but I'm not sitting out there for 10 minutes right now, it's freakin cold out!

Just some... lol I thought it was way noticeable

I been running the tow tune, only cause I been lazy, picking the trailer back up from the parents over xmas and not wanting to change it. I like this tune; good mileage still, good power, and good shifts.

Well yeah but it's definitely still better than stock, I didn't want to make it sound like it made the truck worse (using stock as the baseline)
