Milage Increease w/ Edge Juice/Attitude?

Edge claims 10% milage increase with their Juice/Attitude. IF I keep my foot out of the go pedal, is this possible? What have most of you that have this experianced? I'm not interested in the extra power, just the mpg.

NO!
Besides, even if you got 1mpg better, how long would it take you to pay for the Edge? Do the math. Don't get me wrong, I love mine, but I bought it for the power.

I agree with the last post. Get it for the fun not for the "economy" because for the first year you will get 30% less mileage due to your happy foot.

If you really get a 1 mpg, not as long as you think. If you drive 30,000 per year and your overall milage goes from 17 to 18 mpg, then your gallons per year drop from 1765 to 1667. At $3 per gallon that's $300 a year your saving, and a one to two year payback on the Edge.

Now, if your not even getting a 1 mpg increase, then your not aving the money. That's why I'm asking the question.

I really like my juice/attitude especially for the digital gauges and the on the fly adjustment, it's seems to make good power but for fuel economy I got the best results with the edge EZ. Seen about 2.2-2.8 mpg increase with the EZ.
My 2 cents,

No improvement for me, but no real decrease either. But I don't granny-foot it either.
So for me it is all about the POWER

I guess if you buy a used one, but, if you buy new and an A-pillar mount it's closer to 3yrs. Either way, I drive 90 miles round trip to work (now my wife is driving it daily) and did not see any improvement in mileage. The only improvement was in holding my speed back - hence, less rpms. At 75mph I was only getting about 16mpg - at 65mph I could get 19mpg, and it didn't really take that much longer to get to work.

they say that setting #1 is the MPG increase, but i never saw it. then i started driving around with setting #3 and i saw about a 2MPG increase on the highway...if you are looking for city MPG increase you need to put a TC lockup switch where you can manually lock the TC, that will give you about 17-19MPG in the city if you keep a light foot. Everything i have done to my truck (sig) was for MPG increase, On a good day i get 24MPG on the highway, but i average about 21-22. RPM control is where its at, keep it at about 63-65 for the best milage, and if you can handle it, dont use cruise control, that the fuel killer for distance driving.
