Dean: You will notice a fair bit of change in your mileage after the tune but you should note that cruise control will lower your mileage compared too if you just use your foot (not by much but unless you got one heavy foot the foot usually wins the mpg war between it and cruise control) When cruise is engaged unless your driving on perfectly level and flat roads which there aren't too many anywhere.. the cruise is always closing throttle and opening throttle to compensate for slopes, hills etc etc even if it drops 1mph or 1kmh it'll engage the throttle to compensate where if you have your foot on it majority of people don't care if they drop 1-2mph or kmh same with smaller hills/slopes... Cruise is a nice feature but it doesn't help mileage at all it drops your mileage..
AWD2RWD: You won't be dissappointed, I only tuned in the Performance tune and I am extremely impressed! One thing I would recommend from when I was doing my search is do a little recon of your own on which tuner you want go with.. I honestly can't remember which ones were brought up but remember some guys saying they had a few problems with certain tuners. I don't know if their issues were tune related, elevation related or if they screwed up installing the tune (not quite sure how that's possible lol) but like any product their are good and bad experiences, I just searched and looked for the reviews of people who live in higher elevation areas as where I live is 2200ft above sea level as to their experience with tuners

I live in the NCR area. I currently drive 67 miles one way to work, nearly all highway and while driving... "normal" (Shifts at approx 2k rpm, nice easy acceleration) I get around 24mpg with the 91R tune
