so my buddy had a Superchips programmer he wasnt using. he sold his truck, but still had the the prog. so he let me barrow it for a while. i was getting about 26-27 mpg around town... but just yesterday someone lit the fuse on his tampon and he insisted i return his programmer. so now i only get like 15-17 mpg around town now and it sucks!

 

 

im serious, the overhead computer said like 24.5 most of the time. thats with the cruise on at like 55!

 

Can't go by the overhead computer.

I'll say it once more so you can understand better.

However, if you did see a drop, well then you get worse MPG's w/out a tuner, but you certainly aint gettin no 25mpg's. Hell, my old 4cyl Stratus wouldn't get that around town! Ohh and it was a 5spd

 

If it's saving you that much gas how can you afford not to buy another programmer?

 

there was NO WAY in HELL u got anything over 19 in town!! i always hand calculate it

 

The best a superchips tune is going to give you is 1-2mpgs on the highway. And to tell the truth, the Mileage XS tune is ****. Didn't gain any mileage, but it definitely reigned in the engine. The best mileage I've pulled on my truck is 20.2mpg on a highway cruise at 70mph with the 91 perf tune on.

 

Damn, a little rough in here. But there is no way you get that much mileage. And overhead isnt worth a damn unless you want to know waht direction going or checking the tempature.

 

yeah dont rust that thing. it got me in trouble with my wife. she punched it the other day and it reads 12.4. i showed her my talley book where i figure 16.6+/-

 

I thought I was doin' GREAT when I first bought my truck.
The overhead said something like 22.
It was only after a week or so, that I noticed the read out was in liters LMAO.
A quick button punch and my tiny bubble was burst forever.
