I'm still very satisfied with mine!!! Unfortunately I did some hauling so my fuel economy numbers aren't very accurate for those who don't tow. I have nothing to compare to since I haven't hauled with the truck stock but with the 87 performance/tow I never even felt a difference with my Mustang ridding on a 16' trailer and the fuel economy never went below 15mpg on the display. Needless to say I am very happy with the truck and 5 Star Tune.

Is there big power increase with the 5 star tune? I'd like to gain some hp's and mpg as well! I had an edge programmer and CAI in my 08 5.4 and it made a huge difference and wondering how the 5 star tune is???

I would be interested in hearing some more reports on your mileage once you have a chance, thanks

Is your truck stock? Other than the programmer?

1st sorry for my French. Truck is stock, I had my truck for a month before putting this tune 87 perf. It's kind of embarrassing to say but i never check the mileage on it. I dont know if it make any sense but what I can say is my wife drives the truck during the week since we got it, no highway, just town. I was always seeing give or take 21/100km on the screen. The tune is been on for over a week now and it went down to around 17/100km in town. She is not even aware of the programmer and been driving the same as usual. This is on the 87 perf. Not the Econo!!!!

Balogna im also from pittsburgh and interested in a tune, how does it perform around here with all these hills?

Balogna

I have a mixed drive everyday to work that is around 40 miles round trip. Its all hills till I hit the highway then it levels out. I typicaly avg. 15.8 to 16.5 mpg depending on how many times I hit the snooze in the morning. If I just drive and not pay attention to the avg it will usually hit low 15. The thing I love the most about it being in the area we are in is that it really cleans the shifts up. The tranny felt slugish to me going up hills and what not and the tune from 5 Star really improved on that.

Now above I stated that while towing my Mustang it never dropped below 15 mpg on the display and the truck drove like normal but that was all flat driving. I trailered the Mustang home yesterday and it was a lot of up and down hills. My mpg dropped to low 14 and I really noticed that there was a trailer behind me when I was pulling some of the bigger hills. Don't get me wrong the truck performed great and had plenty of power to pull the hills but I def felt that it was there.

All and all I would highly recomend the tune to anyone regardless of where you live.
