I had the Gryphon with canned tunes, I got the custom tunes and it made a big difference. (performance wise. about 1 second faster) I will say, my gas mileage is **** though... I'm getting 13.5mpg or something like that now. 280-290 miles to a tank. I use to get 320-340... Before my Gryphon.
But I also have straight pipes now and mud tires, BUT stock tire size.. and I gun every light and run over 2k rpms.. lol.

Well, without the edge i was getting 10 mpg. However I have 35's and 6" lift so thats why. Now im gettin 13. If i drove more conservatively and ran the economy setting (lvl 1) i could prolly get better. (and AZFX4 haha) I got my speedo recalibrated. thanks guys!!

How many tanks have you gone through before calculating the extra 3mpg. Or is that a reading the truck is predicting? That sounds way to good. That would pay for itself in a hurry.

Well i did it the old fashoned way before i got the programmer. Setting the trip each time i fill up and then recording the gallons i used for how far that tank went. basically miles divided by gallons. The new programmer tells the average mpg, which is staying right around 13 now.

To be honest, I wouldn't even trust the average MPG it shows. My truck was showing me 14.7 up to 15.4 all week. I filled up and divided mileage by gallons. Came out to around 13.4mph I believe.
That reminds me. I was going to change that parameter to something else. So I'm not watching it lol.

You are probably getting an additional 1-2 MPG at best (exact same driving and environmental conditions).
