I get like 9-10 mpg around town... About 15-16 mpg with the converter locked on the hwy..

For reference, my 45 year technology, carbureted 496" big block with no overdrive also gets 9-10 mpg around town...

It all comes down to the tune and all necessary tables filled in and tuned properly!

Decel tables are best done on the street, street tune!

Thanks,Matt
If you do your own tuning and use hptuners can you maybe send me or post a nice long driving log? I'm assuming you have DFCO enabled and run a bit leaner in the lower VE cells while cruising?

First and foremost, how long of a file are you looking to see (time wise 1 hour, 30 minutes?...)

I do not do my own tuning Dyno tuning or major tuning, however I do have HPTuners and do some small tweaking here and there -

So I can make a log file of normal driving, BUT it will more than likely be one day when I take it to work (1 Hour drive) or it could be sooner depending on how long of a file you are actually looking for

Lemme know and I will try to get it all done!

Thanks,Matt
