Gas Mileage

2004 F-150 STX 95,500 miles. 6.5' supercab. Stock except for custom x-pipe no muffler dual exhaust and Edge Programmer. 18.6 for mostly city driving. Got my edge to show 22.0 mpg when I went 55 with my window down for a long highway drive. Mostly highway with some city is usually 19.6 mpg. The 18.6 and 19.6 are strictly what I consistently get when I calculate my mpgs at the pump. I usually accelerate fast, but I make sure I drive a little over 40 so my truck is in overdrive to save gas.

I have an Edge so I think it's only supported by Bill at php. The other day I switch to a level 2 tune with 2.25 timing and the power is perfect for the city. Haven't tested the highway but I love it even more than the level 3.
I may go as high as +3, but my truck ran best with +.75 on level 3 so I figured 2.25 is a safe bet. 93 octane at sea level. I will have to wait and see how the fuel mileage works but the intake also seems louder with this tune.
