Default Any EB tuners helping tow mileage?

I know there's 4-5 good tuners out finally. I'm curious to any real world experience towing. Power is ok, I'm more concerned with another mile or two. This 6-8 blows

I got another 1 mpg using the Livernois 89 tow tune with premium. Check my remarks on page 47 of the following thread:

A couple of points though; I tow at 60mph for safety, my fifth wheel yields better mileage than a travel trailer, I have stock (18s) P-metric tires and ST tires are only rated to 65mph.

I'm running the 87 Livernois tow tune, pulling 8000 pounds this weekend I saw as low as 6 mpg and 10-11 highest.

What octane gas did you run? Premium definitely improves towing fuel mileage.
