From my experience aftermarket stuff like programmers are a waste of money if you are looking for mpg. If you want hp get a programmer, if you want better mpg follow these rules:
1. slow down 70 mph eats fuel
2. coast up to intersections
3. avoid jack rabbit starts
4. don't add lifts, taller or more aggressive tires
in other words drive like you have an egg under your foot, it ain't fun but gas mpg will increase
