MKM tunes

Anybody have any success (or horror) stories about MKM Tunes.

their claim to a 3-4MPG gain is very intriuging
SCT3000 X3 Power Flash Handheld Programmer/Scan Tool

this forum does swear by Matt and Erics tunes. and for the life of me sometimes I tend to stray from the herd on things this might be one of them.

MPG gains on tuned vehicles are like HP gains on cold air intakes---all VERY subjective according to driving style. Typically the higher HP tunes also produce the best MPG's IF you can keep your foot out of the throttle. Diesel HP is VERY addictive but don't ask me how I know--LOL.
