I put 420 miles on my truck this last week with the box. Net gain from previous tank, 1 mpg. Now, while talking to Quad, he stated that the guys who had the worse mileage were seeing the biggest gains. Guys that had better mileage were seeing smaller gains. I do about 60/40 highway/city. I average around 18.2 - 18.5 mpg tank to tank, hand calculated (I keep detailed records). However, my last tank before the chip was 17.9 mpg. With the chip, Sunday I filled up and got 18.99 mpg (hand calc'd of course).

Quad did mention that I should start checking mileage until the 3rd tank because the first couple of tanks you tend to get on it more, and don't follow your normal driving patters. After the 2nd tank, you should be more back to normal.
