So far the DIC indicates about 18.2 mpg since the BB tune (about 300 miles). It was 16.2 before I swapped modules. I'll keep you posted.

50 mpg, oh wait that is the 91 jetta diesel, I mean 16mpg on average in the 02 Silverado. I had a best of 22 but I could never drive as easy as I did to get that again. To painfull.

Filled up early (167 miles) only because prices were going up.

16.35 mpg (there's a little fun in that too)

So I got my record highest mileage this past tank with 16.8 mpg! Terrible, I know, but my previous highest was right below 16 mpg, I believe. I achieved this with my ATV and ramps in the bed (probably about 475 pounds; not much) for about 300 miles and the cruise control set to 75 mph. The tank included about 50 miles of city driving, too.

Actually checked my mileage after the Black Bear tune and I am pleased to say that mileage was UP to 17.6 from 16.2 on the first tank. I wasn't all that easy on the throttle either... might be more like 18 if I drive it normally.

WOO HOO! :thumbs:

When I keep my foot out of it, I get just under 14 with my BB tune. I get around 12 using my foot. :lol: This is combined city/highway.
