Default Post Your Whipple MPGs
So I know there is a big MPG thread, but its not really focused on the SC trucks.
Could you post your Year, Transmission, Whipple Stage, Axle Ratio and Tire Size?

Curious to see what you guys running Whipple's are seeing longer term.
And no it does not really matter to me, I am not buying with efficient MPG aspirations. I was very used to 11-12 mpg. on my powerstroke and that was if I kept my foot out of it.... so anything better then that is just bonus.

The MPG can vary drastically depending on what version of tune you are running.

What are most guys running? The Whipple tunes, or Oz or other? I assume what I will start with when I get mine from Beechmont will be whatever Whipple is providing... is there an upgrade path from there? Anyone doing anything better?

Also what platform are most of the Tuners developing on? With my 6.0 it was pretty much an SCT world.. with a few (PHP and Gearhead) using Minotaur for the new Insight Pro from PHP. Of course we had HP Tuners with the Edge version Insight Pro, but nobody was tuning for the 6.0s on the HP Tuner Platform.

My 2015 f-150 averaged 20 mpg, which was basically like stock. My 2018 mustang seems to have lost about 5% vs stock. I really think brand is right about the tune.

About 14 MPG around town, I have 3.73 gears and 35" tires. Not surprising it drops dramatically with spirited driving style. Without the Whipple the best was only 15-16. When I ran E85 without the prior to the Whipple is 12-13.

Which version of the whipple cal is as important as who's cal. Some early whipple cals can really tank the mileage.

I'm running what I think is the latest Whipple tune from a few weeks ago.

Oh...Rayo...I'm still planning on going to the Cars & Coffee at TireRack this coming Saturday morning.
