So about 2mpg change with a tune? I could be happy with that in addition to the extra performance.

I'll never get that, but I would be thrilled to get 18mpg on the highway.

Well with the 4x4 and bigger tires not quite but with a custom tune you'll be surprised by the increase in mpg especially with the power increase.

My gas mileage went down without my tune. Hope you understood that!

At thats exactly what I would expect especially from a 93 Octane tune.
