When I had my 1st Silverado (2002 model), I tried Superchips Flashpaq and the Diablo Predator.
When I took a long highway trip, I noticed I gained a good bit of MPG with the Superchips than I normally would.
With the Diablo, you can do more and see more (charts, etc) on a laptop as you're going. I didn't pay attention to better MPG on this one because I was always messing with the other settings/modes.
Since you're just curious about better mileage, I'm going to keep this short. I really don't think it's worth the money.
People say the custom tunes are better BUT I don't have time to go back and forth to the person to change settings with it.
I guess driving easy is the best way, even though that's hard sometimes.

IMO i would do a bully dog, super chips , or hypertech. all seem to do the same on a gasser to me. after that put a throttle body spacer on it. then a thermostat that opens at a cooler temperature. after that take off the big mechanical fan and put on an electric one. ive seen large fuel mpg gains off that set up. i hope this helps
