After you pick a tuner don't forget about the little things like tire pressure and tire type!
a good highway tread at max pressure will give you 3 to 5mpg over an aggressive tread alone! Then think about air flow in and out!

Can attest to dangerous1965's assertion. I pulled my triple dog outta my 03 and gave it to my brother. In his 05 on crazy larry setting that thing is A lightning bolt on highway tires. And driven on cruise control it will pull 28MPG Consistent. Got nothin near that outta my 03 with my earth rippers, but is ridiculous in his.

You guys are sure lucky. I guess I am going to have to settle and be happy when I can get 16 out of mine...... Wish I could get what my lie meter says sometimes when it is over 20..... Every time when I get out the calculator it is still 16. . . .

I have an S-06 and really like it. I just got the new Revo software (Thanks to Chrysler )
I need to play with it more so I can get back my program I liked. I really liked it shifting sooner. I don't know how to do it under Revo yet. It is still 'waiting' like it does under stock tuning.

17 around town is great! The max milage guys get is "freeway empty with the cruise control below 70mph"! But when you get it right it's nice to see the numbers! Stay away from sticks bigger than 50hp!! Get a scanGuage if you want to be spoton for milage and other info!!

Get a Smarty and keep your right foot out of it! Inflating the tires to max. PSI helps too.
