Just put in the Supperchip
What a difference !
I'm never going to get good gas milage again.
It loves to sing out those RPM's, and drink like a dunken sailer.
I'm going to have to get help for my very heavy right foot. I'm so happy, Craig Robertson Thanks Mike

Hi Craig,
Glad to hear you're enjoying your Superchip.
Sounds like you're catching the dreaded "Superfoot" disease!
All kidding aside, you might find, once the novelty of a new go-fast parts wears off a bit and driving returns to a more normal pace (or should I say, if it does), that your fuel mileage actually goes up a little bit when cruising, when not using a lot of throttle. It's not a big gain in mpg, maybe 1.0-2.0 on todays fuel formulations. It's just a by-product of the increased spark advance used on part-throttle as part of our performance tuning for premium gas, but you may find that happens. If that happens, consider it just icing on the cake, so to speak.
Have fun,
