I am hunting better fuel mileage out of my F-250 super duty. I am currently getting about 15.5 miles to the gal. Has anyone tried one of the perfomance chips and did it help your fuel mileage?

I will try buying my fuel from a different store with a different supplier and see if that helps. The best this truck ever got was about 17 and that was when it was new. It has about 50000 miles on it now and different tires. :idea: You know, I bet those tires are my problem.

I have put in the PowerService+ and I am happy with the 1 mpg increase it looks like I am getting. If I drive 65 everywhere I can up it to 15 mpg. I have a tuner but I haven't used it yet with this truck. I did get about a 2-3 mpg increase with my F-250. I will try it on my next tank of fuel. I have been buying my diesel at the Moble truck station, it says on the pump "This is not moble branded diesel fuel" I don't know where it is from though.

Am i understanding right to say that #2 diesel will get better fuel mileage then #1 diesel? I am assuming that most places sell the #1 fuel since most places don't say what they are selling. What is MBTU?
