How much of a gain are you guys/gals seeing with EFILive? I've heard of some outrageous gains from people but it would be nice to hear it straight from the people that use it.

got mine from 16mpg @ 75mph on the freeway to 19mpg @ 75mph. city driving is around 16 - 17mpg This a ccsb with a large azz tool box in the bed LOL ... when I weighted the truck it tipped in at just under 7,000lbs with me and my tools in it.

I've only had it for about two months...i've seen a few highway trips with an added 2mpg or so. but most of the time the only thing ive gained is more trips to the diesel pump :D

I've seen 3-4mpg increases also. Depending on the amount of foot and the type of tune.

24 is the most I have heard from any tuner that I would even remotely trust. A lot depends on how fast you drive.

13-16 average

tire size has a lot to do with it

most I've ever gotten was like 1 to 2 better, but only for a couple of tanks cause I just started to and more power once I learned enough to be dangerous.

@ 75 MPH I went from 17.5 to 19.5mpg. Highest was 20.9mpg. I pretty much average 19.5 all the time with mixed driving. Someday I will slow down to 70 and see what that does for me. All hand calculated which helped me correct the DIC to read correctly.
