lol... We got a funny guy here! Haha. Really though, it seems to me like it boosted your mileage already. It could just be because my truck hasn't gotten much love to the engine lately, but I'm lucky to get 120 miles out of $40 in gas. So that's pretty good.

A custom tune will accomomidate for bigger tires and lift but only so that the speedo and odometer are correct now, also if you do a gear ratio change. With a good custom tune, you can usually estimate about 1 to 2 mpg increase over time AND only if you keep your foot out of it. MPG savings is normally a side benefit to a tuner, but not the primary purpose if that makes sense.
