Anyway, you should absolutely get better mileage post-tune - just you might not gain anything over us tuned Americans performance wise since your octanes aren't actually very different. My N/A gained ~3-4mpg on the highway and a few miles to a tank in the city as well. I don't know what the Eurocharged guys do (that's why I pay them ) but they definitely improve mileage with a tune.
Canada has basically four octane ratings for gas, Regular 87, Mid Range (a mix) 89, Premium 91 and a Super Premium 94.
We run the Crossfires on Premium as recommended, well I do when 94 is not available. The 94 is probably a waste of money, but what the heck.

End of hijack.
