Default How is the Fuel Economy with the Range Device?

For those of you who are using the Range device to disable the AFM, how do you like it? Is it a dramatic difference daily driving it? Also, how dramatic (if any) is the change to the fuel economy? My C7 Stingray is capable of getting 450~ miles on a single tank of gas with the AFM on and my C7 Z06 gets roughly 380~ miles on a tank of gas. Would be interested to hear the mileage per tank with the Range Device enabled.

I love the Range device. Sound is the most noticeable difference; there's no more of the strange silence then loud blip when going from 4 cyl to 8 cyl mode. It just sounds good all the time! Fuel mileage does suffer a bit but ours is a daily driver for mostly short trips, so not that big a swing. I may pull the Range next time we take a trip on the highway as it probably does make a bigger difference there.
