The programmer will give you a bit better mileage, but really needs some other mods to shine. When combined witha nice, free flowing exhaust, it will start to shine in this area. A CAI and headers will enhance the fuel economy gains as well...

Yep, I'm seeing about a 2.5 MPG increase in Performance Tune with a Superchips Flashpaq. With is much driving as I do, it will pay for itself in about 6 months...
