I had a steeda tune on my 12 gt auto and the mileage on highway was slightly better then stock. I now have a 13 gt auto with a vmp tune and I'm down about 3 mpg compared to steeda tune.

Yeah im down to about 25mpg on the highway with my AED tune. With steeda I was around 27-28. I would rather run richer than leaner though and keep the #8 cool.
