Arrow Best Millage Tuner?

I know that I can not be the only one complaining about fuel mileage. Which programmer has seen the best improvement. I don't mean speculation(most people blow smoke). I'm in the market for a new chip, tuner or whatever to get better millage because the Dog isn't cutting it. What kind of miles per are you getting with your current or past chip? Thank You

I cant speek for a LBZ really but on my lly's EFi has been the best but other than that the diablo predator and ppe tuners netted the best milage for me on the 60-90hp settings. This was some time ago though and i dont remember mpg gain numbers! With efi tunes on my wifes truck it runs about 18mpg up from 14mpg bone stock!!!

Two best programmers to get for mileage are PPE or EFI live....EFI live would be the best because you or someone else can tune it to the way you want it. And PPE just seems to get everyone 2-4 MPG increase.

I have had EFILive for 3 years, and at first I saw a 4 mpg increase. Now it is up to 7.5-9 mpg increase. In fact, i coulda swore that my fuel gauge started going to the right.
