Don't get your hopes up too much!

Most chips promise huge increase in mpg, but in reality seldom deliver. I have a ts six position chip, and the best I have seen is 18.2 mpg. Still not bad for a 97 4wd hd diesel. Jcab

Any tuner can increase your mpg as long as you keep your foot out of the new found power. It seems like I always get higher MPG when I us the higher hp setting on the highway. I can get 15 in town and about 19-20 highway with my 4.10 gearing.
