Very Impressed With My Truck This Weekend
Well I made a trip to Chicago for a wedding this weekend and we took my truck as it was supposed to snow and whatnot. Well I wanted to see if I could make it there on a tank of fuel. I got out on the highway and set the cruise at 70 mph for the whole trip. Got to Chicago on one tank at about 287 miles on the trip odometer. After the filli-up it came out to about 17.87 MPG. I am giving all credit to that mileage to the programmer and a little to the EFAN, I was also on the 87 Performance setting for this trip so I am sure that I could have gotten better then that on the 93 Performance but gas is a little expensive.
Come back I let my buddy drive and he ran 80 MPH or better for most of the trip and got about 16.5 MPG which was pretty good to me as well, he paid for that tank anyways.
Just thought I would throw this out there for anyone that is looking at lifting and what then can do to improve mileage after the fact.

I guess with my efan I'm getting better than I think too! I'm averaging about 16-17 give or take .5 mpg all winter long so far! We haven't had hardly any snow yet tho...so I'm sure when it gets really cold and snowy again it'll drop...I got 18.5 on a trip to NY, cruise at about 69mph or 2500 on the tach!
