I'm running a hypertech PP3 which is the same as the max energy programmer according to hypertech. Just got mine updated and asked specifically if there was a difference between the two and the tech said don't switch because they are one in the same, just in a restyled box. I'm getting roughly 20-22 mpg depending on how i drive. Old mpgs 16-17. Good thing about the hypertech is that to tow you do not need to back down the power level. I leave mine on level 3 all the time w/ no problems so far.

Just got my e-con installed and I find the power is great. Where I was in 3rd at 99% Load it runs now on 4th at 74% load. I get around 19 MPG and so far have not seen to much increase in MPG. I had it set on setting B, I have now set it on setting A. The reading on MPG are completly out out of sink on my indicator. I was off by 38% on the millage indicateor that showed 26MPG and actualy 19 MPG. Now it hardly shows above 14 MPG but I am sure it is also off. So I have reset and will know when I do a long trip again. Sure hate to take the truck out with fuel at over $6.00 per USG here in NB, Canada. I was getting great fuel millage before installing the E-Con compare to last summer. It was in my driving habit.

I'm using Hypertechs Power Programmer III and have increased towing mpg by 2 mpg, paid for itself in 6000 miles. The trucks like a Hot Rod when I'm not towing but I haven't verified the MPG non towing.
Your DIC mileage will be off by as much as 40% so calculate it manually.

I actually get much less power on setting A and find that the readings were only off by 13%.
