Post your MPG & mods.

I was getting 12mpg stock. When I upgraded to flowmaster, airaid, superchip and headers I went to 13.5mpg. With the addition of the Supercharger I gained 2mpg up to 15.5mpg!When towing I've been getting 9mpg regardless of trailer weight.
For now I'm running the stock 245's.

The only mod was:
Adding 20' Wilderness Trailer
150 miles highway
Fill tank to overflow both fills
75 miles @ 60 MPH
40 miles @ 65 MPH
20 miles @ 70 MPH
15 miles @ 55 MPH
Ran in Overdrive (with too many converter-unlocks and downshifts to suit me) over I-94 and I-69 (grades are not more than 4%?? over Michiana flats).
10.2 MPG -- Not bad -- wonder what it will do in Direct-only.
Oops! Forgot to post weight: 11K +- 200

Ok, I've now got the exhaust and the WMS intake on, and took a little roadtrip this weekend. 211.7 miles on the odo and I filled up to 12.927 gallons. That's 16.38mpg. I had reset the computer after the installs and drove around town a couple of days before this weekend so this is a fair measure after the computer has gotten used to the mods. Most of the driving was about 73mph on the interstate, but about 40 miles were on two lane highways where I had to do some passing.
I have the off road package with stock 17"ers and 3.55 gears. See my sig for the rest of the info. My truck only has about 4800 miles on it too, so hopefully mileage will keep increasing with age
