Welcome to the group!
I'm getting around 15 mpg driving about 100 miles on the highway everyday.
It is slowly working its way up to 16 tho. :)
I seem to be doing better on gas mileage since I took out my Jet chip tho. I
thought it was supposed to increase gas mileage! :)
I know it sure increases the butt dyno!
