Hypertech 111

2002 F350 7.3 , K and N intake , 5" exhaust from Summit , daily driver , highway mileage. Little to no pulling or hauling , which setting on the Hypertech 111 will give me the best overall performance , mileage etc. I have not seen any improvement on mpg on setting 1 or 3. I am running setting 2 now and am still getting 17 mpg.

I don't know that the Hypertech will give that much of a MPG boost at all. IMO, they're not a great programmer for our trucks. I would sell it and look into getting something that is more proven, like a DP-Tuner. Jody sells chips as well as programmers. www.dp-tuner.com

Mobey didn't see an increase in his mileage when he switched to the DP tuner a few tanks ago, I haven't seen an increase due to the tuner either. Other that driving style the biggest factor in mileage i have seen is ambient temps. It was almost like a swithch when lows got above 50 my mileage went up almost 1.5mpg

Date Mileage Gallons Average Notes
1/23/2007 481.1 33.9 14.1917404129794 Lows in 20's
2/3/2007 481.6 32.4 14.8641975308642
2/16/2007 523.1 34.16 15.3132318501171 Lows in 40's
3/1/2007 540.3 34.2 15.7982456140351
3/12/2007 483.6 30.7 15.7524429967427
3/20/2007 565 34.5 16.3768115942029 Lows in 60's
4/3/2007 502 31.1 16.1414790996785
4/16/2007 524.3 33 15.8878787878788 Cold snap Lows in upper 40's

I drive the same route the same style every day loading was the same all the time, the only change was ambient conditions. The DP was 1 tank prior to this list.
