5 mpg more? Running one for most of this year and have not seen appreciable mpg gain. I have 4 door though with auto so maybe that is different. Wish I was getting 5 mpg bump.

Is that off your calculation or from the computer?

I bumped up from 14.9 to 17.2 so pretty much 2MPGs. I was happy with that but I'm really not to worried about how much gas i burn or i would not have bought a jeep.

The best I averaged was 16.7. That was with 87 tuning and 87 octane. Still playing with different settings and 87/87 has been the best so far. Currently tuned with 91 octane and tow tune. Only averaging 15.1 with that tune.

Did any of you change your shift points? If so what did you change them to?

I saw those kind of gains when I was lucky enough to buy gas without any ethanol in it. The station I used to buy from got taken over by Phillips and now has ethanol, bummer. best gain now about 2-3 mpg more, but happy with that.
