Well MOST of the time on GAS engines you can have EITHER performance OR mpg. NOT BOTH. I would look into a programmer preferably from 5 Star tuning, they can give you the BEST of BOTH worlds, just one at a time.......

Welcome!

If you want to improve your mileage, do a lot of downhill driving!!

I have found the best mod is the parking mod. Since I have been using it my gas gauge seems to always be in the same spot.

Seriously there is no mod or performance adjustments that are going to net you any MPG improvements. The biggest thing is how you drive. Keeping your right foot light so that you are under 2K RPM's is the biggest MPG gain you can do.
