Four weeks ago I decided to really watch my throttle input. No more WOT, nothing faster than 75, Easy acceleration! Mileage has gone up to 17.2! I am thinking of getting a bullydog gas tuner and maybe gain another 2-3 miles. I would be psyched if I could see 19-20!

Anybody running bullydog tuners? Anyone done any real fuel consumption comparisons?

Also thinking of new injectors and plugs since they are original!

dont get the bullydog tuner. i bought one from summit and enjoyed it, but when i went to set the parking break, it broke off the little switch for the plug that goes into the obd-2 port. also, i had my truck tuned in person by blackbear performance. first, i would highly recommend them. second, when he was tuning my truck, justin told me the bullydog had retarded my timing a rediculous amount. i have also seen aproximatly 2 mpg increase with the bb tune
