Mikeeg thanks for posting this thread. 
Early on when I purchased our MH I was getting between 6.1 and 6.9 mpg as I use to with my Fords. Thought nothing of it until this web site showed up on irv2. BRAZELS
He had a link to his business which was a no no. 
After that was strighten out RVers started to ask about his product. Ultra Power #2
I went to the Tenn. IRV2 Rally and had the ultra Power programed in the ECM.
Milege now 8.1- 9.1 doing by pencil and paper.
I do not tow and drive 60-62 in CC most of the time.
Brazels is working on Ford chips also so hang in there you may improve also.

 Mike, I average around 7-7.7 mpg , I've gotten a little less and I've gotten just a little more if your in this range 6.8-7.9 mpg then that's where you'll be.
I do get my best mpg driving at 62 miles an hour, hope this helps. Ed.S

I use to get 6.5 to 7.5 before I installed UltraPower. I now get 7.5 to almost 9 (8.7).
Remember its <span class="ev_code_RED">UltraPower</span> and not <span class="ev_code_GREEN">UltraMPG or UltraMileage</span>

So I guess I will get some where between 6-7.5MPG. I have seen guys on here who claim to get 9-10MPG so I guess they are dreaming. 
I have always though that diesels got much better MPG for all thoase extra dollars spent.

I could probably get 9+ if I was not pulling the toad.

I've put 3500 miles on mine since I bought it and and average to date is 7.35MPG. I got a best of 10MPG using a half tank in Ohio at 55MPH using CC. I had an issue with a bad oxygen sensor and DPFE sensor when I first got it. After I fixed those the milage improved. I hope to have a "to date" average of about 8-8.5MPG after I've put 8-10 thousand miles on my coach.

If I understand correctly, UltraPower will give me at least 2 MPG improvement. From what I can find online, the cost is about $800. If my math skills are correct and gas remains at +-$3.00, UltraPower should pay for itself in 6000 miles.
What is the down side? Does it (or could it) affect your factory warranty?
