RT Stat,
You'll be happy. I was and am. I'm a rare case but I've improved MPG a lot. Part of that is because I have an Expedition! I'm not smoking the tires or grabbing 2nd gear rubber. I've described it as "..when I come out of a toll booth, I go first if I want too...".
I have actually began driving more conservativly and I'm amazed at what kind of MPG I can get now. No matter what I did before the mods, I couldn't sustain anything over 14 around town (usualy 12.5 to 13.5) or better than 16 or so on the hwy. I can now keep 15-16 around town and 18+ on the hwy and that's with climate control keeping me comfy!
It doesn't take as much effort to get what I need to get, when I need to get it....get it?
Seriously, it runs great!! Powerful and shifts wonderfully. You won't be sorry, unless your expectations are unrealistic. Some have installed the chip and expected huge MPG increases while having fun with the new found performance; it won't happen. A performance chip is just that, a performance chip although you may see some additional benefits.
Don't expect to install it, crank it up and pull out and light'em up, like I said earlier, it's an Expedition but you'll be pleased...
Chip it!
