tuners and mileage

Do the tuners do anything to your mileage up or down

tuners help mileage because they make the engine run more efficiently. that being said you can't romp on it all the time or mileage will go down.

i went from 15.2mpg to 17.4+mpg (saw over 20 mpg more than once on a road trip) with an Edge Evolution on program 3. those #s were on my 4X2 F-150...i havent had the 4X4 long enuf to check the mileage on it yet

the extra mpg is worth me running the higher octane plus the truck runs much better

I also went up with the Edge, we will see with the Troyer tune. Right now my gas mileage is horrible in a stock tune.
