I did an extreme mpg test before and after, where I tried to get the very best MPG I could possibly get. This is driving with very little throttle input mind you. Not realistic, since the SC never even kicked in, but I did the same test before and after. 70% highway, 30% city with some elevation changes. Before: 40mpg over the period of a whole tank, after 37-38mpg over the period of a whole tank. Yea, about 5% in that case. I would argue that under heavier loads (SC kicking in a lot) it's going to get quite a bit less though, after all it's generating about 40% more HP than stock!
Now if I flog it a bit and drive normal to hard on the street, I get about 27mpg over a whole tank. No other mods.
