Junk. They don't do what they say. If you want better MPG buy a Prius. Just saying.

A chip like that will be way to expensive like BULLDOG or BANKs and don't believe in! Just tune up better plugs and coils and new Air Filter like K&n or Spectre??? and Synthetic Oil in Engine,Tranny, and axles and transfer case and all Synthetic fluids and more, Flush,Flush,Flush ! Name brands and Top Tier gas High Octane and you will save and get performance more !

I have friend who has a EDGE in his tacoma and he says you can feel a difference but idk about the other brands. For the most part chips don't do much for gassers. I did get my colorado tuned with EFI Live and it made a noticeable change

IMO, the only real programming gains come from a DYNO shop. They establish your baseline, copy the original Toyota map, then make adjustments based on your elevation, tire size, fuel etc..
Normally you get 2 maps in any reader, the original & the modified. For example, I'm always between 6-9K feet elevation, if I went to sea level my truck would run too rich.
