After my lift, new rear bumper and side rails I went up to my mountain place. Drove from Denver area at 6,000 feet to 12,000 feet - all highway but climbing most of the time - and home with a tank of 1/4 city driving, 3/4 mountain highway driving - 20.7 miles actual (not computer). Although the computer did show 20.8.

I received my Superchips Flashpaq yesterday ($315 delivered) and will read the instructions today and update it so I can install. Looking forward to either increased power with similar mileage or, best-case scenario, better power and mileage. I'm not super picky though either one will be a bonus.

Ok. Everyone buy from Dave.

Truckcustomizers made me do unspeakable things for that price. I don't want to talk about it. Plus it arrived smelling like cabbage and butt.

Definitely order from Dave. Its worth the extra 15 bucks.

It worked pretty good for me with regular gas. I got 14.9 mpg on regular (12.5 before flashpaq). Premium settings seems to maybe give slightly more power, but mileage was the same (about 14.9).

Next tank of gas I'm going to try the xs fuel save...

Was the power on regular gas setting enough to justify the cost?

I would say by itself no. Power increase is pretty small in my opinion...

The two things that I would say is worth it is the gas mileage increase (at least for autos) and the shift point and speedo correction for larger tires.

I really wish they would add the TPMS setting in...
