Cool fuel price woes

Anyone have opinions on what the best programer for a 2001 7.3 superduty is? I am only looking for minor horse power and torque increeses. Mostly I am looking for better fuel milage. 14.5mpg now X $3.75 per gallon.

www.dp-tuner.com....can't go wrong with it. The 80 econo tune is great!

I know how you feel....I just filled up today from 1/8 of a tank...cost me $104.00. Oh I can feel the pucker factor already.

I use mine for towing my RV and general running around the farm other than that I'm restricted for using it for everyday use. I just got back from Germany and gas is around 6.00 a gallon I'm already thinking about selling mine now before it gets worse and it's coming brothers, it's coming.

But only with the correct accessories... ie 35 inch boggers, ranch hands, a gunrack, and enough KC highliters to sunburn a hippie.
