2015 2.7EB 4x4 3.73 - I get 23MPG on a mix of rural roads and highway, using 87 octane. It's not knocking or pinging, so there is no need to use a higher octane fuel.

I have/ am considering a tune but like albita pro above, I would expect less mpg not more in exchange for more performance but those that have tunes could speak to this better than I and even then I suspect it would be different amongst those. I saw in another forum and some tuners stating that 4" exhaust took away torque but my truck still will light up the tires and chirp them when it shifts so if that was true it must be a very small reduction.
Keep this in mind, a tune will give you more performance and if you use it, your mpg will fall. But if you use a tune, since the performance has improved and you continue to drive like before, without using the horsepower, you mpg should improve. That's the way a technician explained it to me. Use the HP or save the gas.

Mine is still getting broken in, 350 miles on it.
Got about 22 indicated mpg around town yesterday, little bit less the day before with a good bit of idling and dense urban driving. The stop/start probably helps, but if it's hot and/or muggy out, I want A/C on.
Gonna shoot for a 30MPG round trip run on 87 octane ethanol blend over the weekend. The dealer filled up my 36 gallon tank when I bought it but as soon as I fill it up myself I will start logging it in Fuelly.
But I ordered a blow-off valve vent thing today, it will take discipline to stay out of the boost when it sounds cooler!
