MPG all depends on how well you control your right foot after getting some new-found power!! If your good at it you can get a couple mpg.

I love my TS/6 I think everyone would like if they tried it, after all you get 4 power positions the high being 80 real horsepower, high idle, and stock all at the flip of a switch. as far as mpg goes. My truck gets about 14mpg in stock setting but it's no fun and with chip all the way up its' 13-13.5 mpg when I'm abusing it but it's worth it and 11-12 when towing, My all time best was 16mpg on a sunday drive through the mountains avg 45-50 mph with chip on second power level. The only thing that sucks is that the ts-6 doesnt have the transmission tune like tuners do, but that's why I put in a shift kit.

Thats why a chip fron Tony wildman is so nice....he can set the shift patterns for ya. Its well worth calling Tony and having him set ya up with a chip.
