It has 7 levels of tuning from a towing setting to up to 180 additional HP and 385+ ft. lbs. of torque.

I drove the truck yesterday in the city all day... no highway at all and averaged over 18 mpg.

It seemed if I stepped on the gas harder than normal, it would drop the average down a bit but it always pulled it back up to the 18-19 mark.

Apparently with the 24 mpg, I did more highway driving than I thought but in all fairness, I spent a lot of time yesterday with my truck idling while I ran inside here and there to take care of business.

I see I'm going to have to replace rear tires. If I just try to merge from traffic out of my shop's driveway, I'll leave more rubber on the ground than on the tires. Definitely going to have to curb that action...

So how does these tuners work to achieve the MPG? Little skeptical on the significant MPG increase and just want to know what the concept is to make a vehicle that gets 10-12MPG average to 24MPG...
