Unhappy After Idle Learn Procedure

After hearing of all the people who had seen a nice increase in their mpg right after the idle learn procedure I decided to give it a try. I figured that it couldn't hurt to try, however, I've found that after my first tank (I filled up right after the procedure) of 90% highway driving I've only gotten 23 mpg compared to 28-20 mpg before. This procedure actually dropped my MPG! Maybe I shouldn;t have done it?
My question is, for those who did it and gotten improvements, was your first tank after doing it disappointing? I hope it does not get worst from here... A poster said that it could be that my compauter is re-learning, thus, causing the low mpg... hope he's right.. but it appears that others got better mpg immediately on their following fillup.
Any thoughts from those who has done the procedure??
