Will Racechip increase MPG?

Did anyone with Racechip see the improvement on MPG if not driving aggresively?

How about MPPK?

Thanks.

By increase do you mean more fuel efficient....then no it will not. It won?t be that bad though. I still can get 300 miles per tank on my 50i.

Can?t add about the mppk but I would also assume now. typically tunes don?t do that if they tune for more power. Typically.

I thought the same. But RaceChip advertised increase in MPG so I was wondering if any user can endorse this claim...

Thank you.

Thank you.
Marketing word.
The truth, it may increase your mpg, but not that much.
Think about this, the more power you have the more you will drive it to enjoy it.
If you can resist yourself to drive the way you drive without the tune, then you may see some gas saving. But again, it will be about 1-2 mpg, where there are so many variables that you will not be able to calculate it correctly.
The best way to save gas, increase your tire pressure and reduce the weight.
