Default Best programmer/tuner for better economy

Know this is beat to death, and no I don't want a stupid Prius. Have a 12 unlimited rubi with 2.5 of lift and 33's and I do have an intake installed.
I may be getting a job that has a 200 mile round trip to and from. Pay will be better but gonna eat up a lot of the raise in fuel cost.

So the question is what's a decent programmer that'll get me some better fuel economy, 14 average right now. Doesn't have to be crazy gain just good enough to knock down some fuel cost.

Thanks a bunch everyone. And I searched and could not find a thread sorry.

14mpg sounds about right,even with a programmer may not see much improvement.A less aggressive tire will help

Dropping weight, spare tire etc, smaller tires, re gear got me 1.5mpg, and the super chips trail tuner got me another 1mpg on economy. Have 4 door, 35s, heavy everything. Cheaper to buy a 2000 commuter on Craigslist though maybe
