Default Tuning Programmers For 2011 JK?

After checking out the usual brands for tuners like Superchips and Hypertech, I'm getting the impression that they don't work on 2011+ JKs?
Is this true or have updates been released for the newer Wranglers? At roughly $6 a gallon for gas down here in South Africa, I'd really like to tune up my JK for better economy.

Still nothing available for the 2011 that's what I have been reading.

Damn that's a pity! Why is that? Different ECU on newer models?

I'm running a 2.5" Teraflex coil lift with 35's and have a aev procal module on a 2011. The best I've seen was 15.8mpg with lift and ties but before the proclaim it was 11-12 so it made a huge difference.

The AEV procal didn't give you better mileage, lol. It doesn't do any engine tuning, it just corrected your speedo for the 35's so your computer was able to give you an accurate figure. You were getting the same distance on a gallon of gas as you are now.

Thanks!

Well, that's pretty scumbag of them! Surely it's the consumers choice if they want to adjust the ECU
