You don't mention if the 17.5 "before mods" mileage was highway, city, or
mixed.
Also, 50mph in "suburban" areas?? Wow! The cops in your town must be super
lenient. My city's limit is 25! Anyways, 11-12 is average for a V8 in city
driving (from my experience with 3 Daks), but not highway. Should be around
15-17, so I'd say it's a bad PCM again. Especially if the truck's running
great & NOT pinging.
Don't forget to account for crappy winter mileage, too. I just went below the
1/4 tank mark & have only 127 miles on the tankful!! I'll get to about 140
before I have to fill up again, so if you do the math ( 16.7 gals into 140
miles) you'll see I'm getting a WHOPPING 8.38 mpg!!! Count your
blessings.
