Tune for mpg?

Can anyone tell me if you get a tune specifically for fuel mileage, what kind of gains get you achieve? I'm thinking 1-2.5 ?

You are about right , with my tuning customers are tellming me from .5 to 2.5 gains and unlike most tuners that are after your money , I make my tunes with both MPG and performance all in one tune , you also get FREE tune updates as you add more NA mods

Before I got toms tune I was averaging about 23-24 driving to work with mixed city and hwy driving. With the tune I now see around 26-27. I have even seen 29 but that was babying it the whole tank which is very difficult for me to do. Before the tune babying it I would be lucky to see 25. Tom's tune definitely nets a few mpgs.

Sounds like great news. Tom, how much is your tune, if you don't mind me asking? I'm on a tight budget but as soon as I get some cash in, I would like to have one done. Do I need to send in the part? How long is turn around time usually?
