I'm not trying to bash the tune or anything - I'm just saying this is my experience, and the tune may or may not have anything to do with mpg. (Which is actually a good thing to get about the same mpg for more power.)
Well on my normal trips to and from Chicago I get about 25-27 mpg's (depending on if I hit traffic or not) so like I said before, I saw a small increase in highway mpg's. I also go about 80 mph or so. I'm sure if I only did 60 or 65 they'd go up to 30 mpg's like yours did. I'm just saying, I didn't change the way I drive and still saw a small increase. I'm gonna fill my tank tonight so I'll reset the gauge and see how she does in the city.

I know you aren't bashing the tune, I'm just trying to answer everyones questions.
