Yes, very good grasshopper.

Well, I am not saying you HAVE to drive in that range to get mileage. Just drive like you always do. If you have a total Lead Foot there is nothing that will help.

You do not have to drive like grandpa to make it work. Just drive the truck normal. If you get on it some then that is fine, get on it some. I am just saying this thing knows when you do that and it reverts to stock when this happens. There is no way to get better mileage at WOT than stock unless you reduce fuel which we are not doing.

This is not meant to be a "power module". No special driving requirements are needed. Just drive your truck.

Cool, so no gauges needed or nothing? Sounds like a good add-on to any truck, great job.

Is there a way to set it up with the Commander so when you start up a hill it will go to a power setting that will help it up the hill?

I never did buy the Granatelli fuel mileage miser that was supposed to gain 3 mpg. Same thing as this thread.......... lots of people buying them but not one accurate report. I drive 200 miles per day on the exact same route and same speeds. Every day I put in the same amount of fuel within a liter. I could give a good report, but I see no point in buying it with no feedback. My loss I guess!

Lets see. Info Released on the 3rd. At best people could have recieved them 4 or 5 days later. So now we are at the 7th to the 10th. We got backordered so not all of them went.

So at best people could possibly have had them 20 days. Give them a little break. Not everyone drives 400 miles a week or more. There will be plenty of reports in due time.

Give it a chance. I would be a little leary of anyone that bought one that could already claim too much good or bad at this point. They are brand spanking new.

Just got mine on Wednesday - Installed last night. I have about 1/4 tank left which will ast me a few days. Then it will take me about 1.5-2 weeks to run throught another tank. Once I do that then I will post my results. I plan on running a spreadsheet and will update after each tank.
