the mileage module just modifies injection timing to be more efficient . adds no fuel or boost fooling.

I was informed by a vendor that it increases the pressure somewhat also. Is that accurate?

I am always searching for a way to squeeze out a little more from the gallon of fuel. Then I remember that I purchased an 8,000 pound vehicle for it's ability to tow a 15,000 lb trailer, and i'm back to reality.
I drive the Nissan when I want good mileage

Some people didn't and don't have a driveway full of vehicles to choose from.

If you can afford a $40,000+ truck, you can afford a $1500 10 year old rice burner to run errands or commute to work!

My Dad used to tell me: If you can't afford the fuel, you can't afford the vehicle. Funny thing.......at $2.00 a gallon, mileage was not a concern. Now at $3.50 plus a gallon, everyone is looking for better mileage. I also bought my Dodge with a Cummins diesel motor to pull my really heavy toy hauler, which it does with ease. I had a GMC with a 8.1L gas motor that could also pull this trailer, at 6 mpg. Now that was a real pain in the wallet. I "wintered" one year in Arizona and California and spent something like $2400 on gasoline.

The new Quadzilla Mileage Module actually does work pretty well and is relatively inexpensive.
