GM said the improved MPG with the kit was getting up to speed fast and then off the gas. Note that once off the gas the fuel is shut off and this is where you see the most MPG,
If you just ride coasting with the gas on a little it will cut MPG and not really speed you up much. The SS had pretty good coasting ability in town and on off ramps.
Even a short burst on the freeway can add MPG pretty fast even at 80 MPH.

Makes sense. I drive 5 miles each way to work a day,no parkways. I do always drive it in Comp mode by the way.
