"Hi AutoAnything, Purchased Hypertech Max Energy Programmer from AA for mpg, tested it for 3000 miles and emailed Hypertech for technical advice as to mini mpg increase. I investigated before purchase and felt confident a 5-7% increase would be worth the $$ invested. The less than 2% increase mpg on premium fuel did not cut the costs of using regular gas. Hypertech informed me they tune for power not mpg, although thru testimonials many claim mpg increase. After the Hypertech call I was watching the tv show Trucks, again. The end commercial was Hypertech's and the main messege driven by the host was, "partial-throttle gets excellent mpg gains plus more power(HP) at full throttle with the Hypertech Max Energy Programmer making it possible." Hypertech support passed along some other helpful return email knowledge. In Illinois the land is to flat to get better mpg, need to have some hills as C.(the Hypertech head representitve) wrote. The money would have been better spent at a comedy club, everything claimed there is funny. This marketing venture presented by Hypertech is that, funny but successful marketing. Hypertech got me, a once thought auto smart consumer. Being consumer aware is the real money(mpg) saver. Tire pressure up, highly maintained, no extra weight except that of the fool. Yours, Bruce"

"programmer is good, but a little extra documentation would have been nice, it takes 20 minutes at least to change the computer every time and some recommended setting ideas would have been helpful. extremely easy install though, and performance is good."

"I'm very happy with the Hyperthech Max Energy Programmer. I installed it on my 07' 6.6 Duramax in about 15 minutes and couldn't believe the difference in power. But I actually bought it for increased MPG and after 2 tanks of fuel I'm averaging between 2-3 mpg gain on the performance 3 setting. Of course thats with me throwing a little black smoke every once in a while. So overall, I would say it was well worth the money...increased power and increased mpg!"

"After figuring out that you have to download stuff off the internet in order to get it to work in my truck, it was a piece of cake to install. I've noticed an increase of power just in my everyday driving but havent had it out on the highway yet. Still toying with the settings to find the best one. Overall I am satisified with this product so far."

"I have a 2005 Ford F-250 Supercrew King Ranch 6.0L Diesel. I did install a K&N Airintake a while back and I was getting around 14mpg around home and 18 on the highway. With the Hypertech on setting 1 I have a average know of 17 around home and almost 21 to 22 on the highway. I figured I picked up around another 150 miles to a tank of Diesel. You can feel the added horse power when you get on the throttle. I haven't towed any thing with it yet to see what it dose with a load on the truck. The product was easy to install. I am going to run it another month on the First setting then going to move up to the second setting. The reason for purchase was strictly to help with mpg. I wish I had bought this years ago Best Regards RH Economy,PA"

"Before installing the hypertech programmer, my 07 1 ton 6.7 Diesel pulling a 40' gooseneck, was getting aprox 10mpg to 11mpg when loaded, after installing the programmer, I am getting 13mpg to 14mpg, and noticing a definite increase in acceleration, and the added ease of pulling the trailer, The #2 setting is what I have the programmer set on at all times. I am very satisfied with this product, and feel that it will more than pay for itself in fuel savings alone."

"I recently purchased a programmer for my 2005 F-250 Crewcab 4X4 after long consideration. My only mistake was not buying it years ago. I just returned from a 1,100 mile trip and saw an increase of about 3 mpg on the Stage II setting. May not seem like much, but it's made enough difference that I will now keep my diesel. I have also noticed a definite increase in performance. I can't wait to see what it does when I hook my cattle trailer up to it. As I said, I love it, no regrets."

"My Max energy programer did not offer adjustment for the radiator fan as advertised. My Tahoe has the thermostatically controlled fans. Other adjustments on shift change RPM and shift firmness work fine. I did see some seat of the pants power increase in both the premium fuel and regular fuel settings. I saw about .5mpg fuel mi. increase over an 1100mi. trip. that i regularly make. App. 500mi. on reg and 650mi. on premium. No change around town app. 14.5 mpg. I have emailed your customer service for any help or hints to be sure all was done correctly. So far no response. This is disappointing for both customer service and performance."

"Added 34HP (at the rear wheels) to my C6 Z06. I could not believe it work that well. I saw it on the Speed Channel (Horsepower TV). It took about 2 minutes to load the program from under the dash connector. The first thing I noticed was the throttle response. My Z06 is pretty stock, only the Hypertech and a CAI. My 1/4 mile time is 11.3 based on my third run (11.7, 11.6, and 11.3) after only 600 miles on the OD. And that was at only a 1600-1800 RPM clutch dump."
