Volo Performance FS3

Now I am back up to what it was just before the FS3 was installed......326 miles on 20.90 gals for 15.60 mpg. Confidence is not high for any noticeable improvement but the testing continues.
In an effort to be fair, I pushed the reset button on the FS3 after filling up. We'll see if that has any effect on the next tank.
Merry Christmas

Things just continued to get worse. 14.42 mpg for the next to last tank and then 14.12 mpg for the final tank. Average for the six tank test was 14.4 mpg vs. 14.9 mpg for the 20 tanks before installing the chip.
I reset the engine computer by pulling the relay after uninstalling the VOLO chip. We'll see how the mileage does with the return to stock.......I'll let you know.

Well tuners are more for power really and power and MPG aren't really used in the same sentence. Also you will have multiple people claim different gains because each truck is different. But the most common I have seen is a gain with the Superchips 3815/3865 on the 91 octane setting. I gained about 1.5 MPG highway and maybe .5 in the city but I don't track my MPG furiously

Really-
If you're looking for more mpg, start by eliminating as much parasitic loss as possible.
An electric fan instead of an engine driven one. Pull the restrictive exhaust and go to a set of headers and exhaust system. Move to synthetic oils and the same weight.
Keep the engine at the recommended tune-up intervals etc,etc.
