Stock 2001 7.3 and newbe help

[ticopowell]

I get between 15 and 17 mpg's with my tunes, I haven't driven enough to narrow it down any further. I usually try and use the 80hp or the 120hp tunes for most of my driving, and it seems like I get slightly better with the 120 as long as I keep my foot out of it. I have stock, 40, 65 w/whisper, 80 w/whisper, 120, and a no start.
I think your tunes will work fine for you, but I think getting a 120hp could help as long as you drive it nice. I generally think that to get more power I need more efficiency, so that way I get more hp per squirt of gas so I can use less gas for the same power. by this logic the 120hp tune with non-aggressive driving would get you the best gas mileage.
This may be completely wrong, and I may be thinking of gas engines, but it so far has worked for my and my driving.

Thanks for the info I know that know one knows for sure how any truck will do but I like the input and I put them in a hat and pull from.
