edge evolution

so i just finished installing the edge evolution to my truck... i was told to unplug my batteries to let the tranny relearn... they said 20min... should i go longer than that? and since i already have the juice w/attitude should i keep that at lvl 0 and just use the tow mode from the evolution? i want to get the best gas milage out of my truck.. ive noticed that with the juice on lvl 2 before i instaled the evo.. i was only getting around 10mpg where as on stock im getting around 14mpg..... any ideas on how to get better gas milage than 10mpg... idrive around 2500 miles a month so i need decent milage out of my truck.....

Your right foot has alot to do with your milage I was gettin around 13 before the juice ans evolution I was gettin around 16 with them I ran the juice on level 5 and the evo on level 2 After installing the evo the juice did not seem to do all that much as far as power I think it was because the juice is only good for about 75 hp and the evo on level 2 is already 60

k so i just finished driving my truck with the evo installed... i can say it makes a huge dif on the way the tranny feels...before it felt like it was way to much power for the stock trany but now with the evo in it it shifts very smooth and dosnt feel like im gonna break it.... question i had is since i got the evo on tow mode and the attitude on 0 if i just go to lvl 1 (milage) will it increase the hp/torque the same amount for each lvl or does having the evo change all of that?

so ive had the evo installed 2 days now... first off i am getting way more mpg then when i had the juice set onto lvl 2(tow mode) i was getting around 10 with the juice and with the evo on tow and the juice on 0 im getting around 120m per quarter tank....compared to 50ish... and second i have a question... my truck idles at alot higher then it did before... im sure its cause the evo but just wondering if it was normal.... it idles at around 800-1000rpm and fluctuates between there when im stopped... is it normal for it to go up and down that much?
