Is anybody with a flash tuner seeing an actual MPG increase. Basically wondering if it is worth it to have. I don't plan on towing any heavy loads and my days of high performance are over. I really just would like to make my 3rd gen expy as "pocket friendly" lol as possible. My buddy's hemi ram picked up a few mpg with just a drop in k&n panel filter. I wonder the the expy will do the same. Any suggestions fellas?

Nominal at best with the tuner. I have a couple more add ons(exhaust, K&N) along with my Hypertech running the 87 tune. I see 18+ mpg when out on the highway, however, I'm turning a 3.73 rear and pushing a touch more air due to the Truxxx 3/2 lift. Where I notice the biggest increase is the overall drive ability, throttle response is better, trans shifts better and the power is there when you want it. A while back I had to return to the stock settings for a service trip and boy, did I miss the tuner. She felt like a slow pig. After service was complete, I couldn't wait to reload the tuner. Just my opinion, I feel they're worth it.
