With BB I am consistent getting 16 average 75/25 city/hwy. hwy only I get 18 with the hills. 19-20 on flats. The tune helps a lot. And when I run premium it increases about 1 mpg average on tank.


BB is way to go. EFI live tunes beat the pants off of a plug and go chip. Buddy got a 45% economy increase from Justin tuning his 8.1L went from 9.5 up to 13.5-14.25 averaging 14 now keep in mind that's a 2500hd Alison trans 4.10 gears and a 496ci BIG BLOCK

I'm looking into this. The truck has barely been used since I last posted. Sunday night I filled her up & handed the keys to the wife. She drive's like an ol' lady compared to me. I will keep you guys posted by end of this week to see how much she consumed!

Now do not let her see this post. Not sure if she would agree with you. ;-)

Off the line acceleration and power load % is the largest fuel consumer because getting these heavy vehicles rolling eats the most.
