Fuelconsumption after Flash
BTW - fuel consumption is directly related to driving style....I dont think many see better mileage the first tank of gas after being flashed

Pre: 18mpg / 22 mpg, avg about 20.
Post: 16.5/ 26* (*6th gear at 70mph or so, cruise control), avg about 20....
In town or if I push, the simple fact of more air means more fuel...so lower mileage. But, if I am cruising and trying to get good mileage, it went up. For me, there was no net change. I suppose that for most people the change reflects the bias of their driving habits as much as anything else.
I drive harder now and seek out fun roads with curves, and keep the revs more at 3-4k now than before.....if I babied, mileage net would be up for sure.

Our customers usually report improvements. We have actually spent time to ensure better mileage under normal driving conditions.
