I drive around with mine on the Performance setting. Do not trust the computer reading for fuel mileage- Mine says 19 MPG, when I calculate it out, in reality it is only 16. That is with stock tires, driving carefully with a concious effort to go easy on the throttle. The bully dog did help with the mileage...It's up from about 13 MPG!

I"ve only got 4800 miles on my truck so its not broken in, but I think its doing good for rolling on 35" tires.

On tow/economy I have been getting (hand calc) 13.6-14.4 mpg
Performance: 15 mpg
Extreme: doing that setting on this tank, but got around 14.5 before on a partial tank.

I get my best milage on CL also and when I can keep it under 70 I get 21.3mpg on my normal driving during the week abd half hwy and half town. Yes this is hand calculated but I am not running 35" tires either.

Same, on average, on all levels as on stock. In fact, EVERY box that I have tried has gave little (0.5mpg max) or no fuel economy benefit.
