I know that Justin asked me for my wheel/tire size when he tuned me. He said that the odometer and mpg computer would be better able to calculate true values. Now that I'm back on stock rims/tires, I notice it still thinks I'm rolling on the 24's that he inputted into my tune.

we average anywhere from 12.5 to 13mpg over the course of ownership that is 80% city 20% highway...

well, on our trip to Oregon last week 90% highway, we put 1300 miles on the truck and about 75 gallons - so ~17.1MPG!

one tank we even got 18.5MPG - which is simply awesome for us! the truck down shifted much faster for climbing hills, and kept the cruise speeds MUCH more efficiently than before the tune - well worth the money!

just wanted to add some 'fuel' to the question of "does the tune give you a MPG increase" - YES!'

It takes a bit for the PCM to learn all the settings, so the tunes should get better the more you drive.
