Seriously - it's only day 3 and I barely get to drive the 'Nali - but my smiles per gallon has increased by at least 10+ smiles per gallon

Thx Justin and the whole BBP Team! :hands:

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!'

hey toad what octane gas did you go with? also what tune did you get? as far as torque management etc.

we got an 87 tune, but have been running 91 ever since the tune to see if it helps, we may back down to 89 - but overall it's been awesome!

we did his standard TQ mgmt removal - I think 80% removed, and had it all removed on the Tow/Haul button :)
