Default Nelson Question

Well now that I have a better job and make more money I want to look into getting a Nelson. I've looked into it before but I forgot about one thing I would like to know. How is the gas mileage after installing a Nelson tune? I figure it has to do with which tune you get but is there anyway he can tune it to get me more power with either better mileage or no mileage loss?

thats the way it will be with pretty much any tune he gives you. no loss in mileage and there could be some gain. i think i saw 1mpg better after the tune. but then i put the stall and cam in. bye bye better mileage!

My mileage went up with my nelson tune and it is a pretty aggresive tune. If my foot isn't in it all the time which is not too often I can get between 18-20 mpg which is better than it was when it was stock, that is with a cam and a 3000 stall also.

I think your highway mileage will stay about the same, my mileage in the city went to **** after I got my 3000 stall or maybe it's just the way that I drive.
