Default underdrive pulley and mps gains?

Hey guys I was going to see if there is any increase in mpgs with a 25% udp? I know they claim it will help but, what do you guys think? 0,1,2,3 mpg increase?

not sure about the mileage gain, but I definately noticed that the engine revved up quicker. Remember when you buy the UD pulley add in another 30-40 bucks for the shorter belt too.

I put an ASP 25% U/D on a month or so back and haven't noticed any MPG difference. It definitely snaps up faster though. Also, a stock replacement crank-bolt from the GM dealership is $5 and is just fine.
