hypertech programmer
I just recently purchased a hypertech max energy programmer and i am really happy with it. I have a 2 door jk, with 32 inch open country all terrains, k and n air filter, 3.5 inch skyjacker lift and 16 inch chrome hulk rims. I use to get about 14 mpg and now i get close to 17 mpg with the hypertech programmer its awesome!

what about the programmer AND the chip..?
will the new program be "too much" for the chip (ie. making it "useless")
OR, is there some "combined gain" still available from having both?
OR... forget the chip, just get the programmer?

I have had the programmer since the first batch came from northridge back in february of this year. It does what it advertises and there are about 100 threads that say this. Search.

The programmer changes your shift points. I got back some pep after the tire change. This is probably the best one on the market. The others do not do as much. If You need to take the rig into the dealer then you swap out the programs and put the stock one back in. Once the dealer is done you load back up the hypertech.
I put one in both the wife's stick and my automatic and it works well in both!

The added HP and recalibrated speedometer would be great but I'd also be interested in how the hypertech affects mileage. It would definitely be nice to scrounge another mile per gallon or so out of it....lol

A little off topic but that's terrible gas mileage. I'm getting around 17.2 - 17.4 with my 35's MT's, highway mileage. This was with a modified stock air box, K&N filter and modified intake pipe (from the airbox to the TB).
