[QUOTE="goblues38, post: 1515147, member: 29724"] It is all about the speed / rpm you are turning on the highway. Especially with a tune. These tunes kind of hit an on / off switch in regards to fuel at a certain throttle position. I have found....keep your foot out of it.....especially on the highway.....you can get close to 20mpg. But that is only IF you set the cruise at 61mph. The sweet spot is about 67mph...you can still get 18 mpg at that speed. When the truck hits around 68 mph, the boost starts to come one, and the program starts adding fuel like crazy to make enough power to keep the big girl plowing through the wind. Ofcourse...nobody wants to drive 67 mph on a 1,000 mile road trip. @92mph going accros kansas, i averaged 14 with my tune and I was happy [/QUOTE]
