I just recently got an EVO and have been playing with it. On Level 3 with 91 octane I got over 16 mpg which is not bad for a 4.6L SCAB 4X4 at 5000' altitude. This was just short trips, up and down hills. I am going on a longer trip tomorrow, a few hundred miles on the interstate, so it will be interesting to see what I get. I also just did the Gotts Mod yesterday, every little bit helps. BTW my EVO average mileage display only showed 15 mpg, but when I filled it and figured it manually I got a strong 16+.

Did a 200 mile, mostly interstate, trip. 17.34 MPG using 91 octane on level 3 Edge EVO, 1800 - 2000 RPM, engine temp 194 - 200, tranny temp 155 - 165. The MPG also included about 5 miles of 4X4 up some real steep hills. I am going to run level 2 until my next fill up to see what it does. Again my EVO showed 16.2 AMPG, I wonder why it shows lower than actual, I thought it would be the opposite???

I only got 240 miles on a tank full to empty, 2006 supercrew 5.4 , 3.55LS Thought it was guzzling but that's a bit rediculous; it's a flexfuel - not sure if it needs a retune to 87 octane w/ 10% ethanol (Florida) or what- but that's bad, no? Tonight I noticed something odd, at 1/4 tank, I filled it up and it only took 10 gallons. Do I really only have a 16gallon tank? They even make those?

I have 157K on my 2004 Scab FX4, would the high miles put a strain on my MPG??

This one time I got 17mpg all highway with the cruise set at 75mph. I usually fill up right under a quarter of a tank.

i just bought my 04 150 4x4 and am averaging 15.3 mpg, with very little highway driving in that average. Just ran a bottle of seafoam through it and will do another through the throttle body...87k miles on it
