With custom tunes, each one will act differently for MPG, depending on how it was tuned and what you have on your truck.
I have an SCT with 5-Star tunes. My truck has a CAI and cat-back, with 35" tires and stock 3:55 gears. The gas saver tune did nothing for my MPG, but the performance tune gave me an extra 1 mpg. Now if I had 4.56 gears, I may get better MPG with the gas saver tune than I do the performance tune.
The performance tune really woke the truck up. Don't know how much HP I gained, but it feels a lot peppier.
