Try cutting down on wind drag, and maybe pull the chip for awhile. See if your mileage increases. If it does, think about selling the chip

If you have big tires and a high lift, your mileage will suck.

I don't see how a chip can increase both performance and MPG. Seems if performance increases mileage would drop because of burning more fuel. From what I hear your lucky if you see the performance increase part of the promise. And if you do it's at wide open throttle. Not away to get good economy. I have never fooled with any chips but have read that some brands work better than others. Just wondering: Did it come with a satisfaction guarantee?
