Knocking Hypertech

Hypertech has a bad name among chip mods. I drove over the holidays 870mi. I topped off before trip. I figured the feul mileage with trip odometer and 42.xxx gallons purchased it came to 20.4 mpg. I have rechecked again it came out correct. Does Superchips and Diablo do better?

I had the Hypertech Progr. Used it one time out west. You know how hard it is to get black soot off a 30' aluminum trailer?

Mine has a Superchip in it, if I only drive around 60MPH or under, I can get right at 20mpg. Any faster and it drops considerably.

Hypertech has done great for gassers, but thats what they're geared for, especially GM.
