Damn, what were you towing?
Very interesting! Mite have to go that route....After owning my 12 screw for 7 years as original owner as stock w/ MBRP cat back with an ARE topper I was getting around 11.8- 13.5 pretty heavy footed highway/city. When I towed my 7X12 enclosed v-nose (5' height interior for aerodynamics) I was around 10-11 at 75-80mph; I added S&B CAI and the 5star 91 performance tune this a couple of weeks ago and have put about 600 miles on it. I gained 2-3 mpg already with massive performance gain. Wish I would have done it from day one as the truck is way more aggressive and responsive coupled with better fuel economy. I haven't messed with the other tunes I have as yet.... but I am looking at doing the BBK throttle body upgrade and calling it good. Highly recommend the mods as not only gaining a massively different driving /sound/experience....but added perk of better fuel economy.
My 2 cents
I am miraculously averaging around 17mpg. Sitting at 17.1 since tune. I have almost a straight shot at about 20 miles one way for work all highway. I now have a Cobb tune and CAI. Stage 1 with 93 octane always. Gen 2. My overall economy has decreased a little. Probably due to more spirited driving. Currently at about 7500 miles.
Oh no, I was wondering why I never responded before. Missed the gen 1 part. I have been looking into getting a gen 1 too lately... So sorry guys and great catch trooper.How much did it cost to get a 6.2 in your gen 2?
