Chip contest

[Sludgy]

I've been fascinated with installing a chip in my Powerstroke, particularly since my mileage has been so bad this winter. The last time I went that route, I installed a Granatelli Mileage Miser. The truck ran like a P.O.S., and the mileage got WORSE. I took it out.

Still, the Hypertech ads are too enticing to stop at Granatelli. They claim 2-6 mpg improvement. I'm going to try a Hypertech chip as soon as I can trot down to the dealer. The Blue Beast has a decent set of mileage data, so the results ought to be obvious. I plan to average the first 5 tankfuls, so the test will take over a month. I'll let you know when the test tanks start.

I'll send a $25 check to the guy that guesses the MPG improvement most closely, compared to the current gaslog, 17.96 mpg. Negative gueses are allowed.
