I assumed you meant that each manufacturer has their own opinions on their products and their performance. The best mileage I have seen from my truck is 18mpg. That was right after the my transmission job. Now its about 16mpg. I hope to get better with the injector swap. I'm gonna do the mpg fooler as well and hopefully down the road, a chip. Maybe I can break the 20 mark? :hyper:

i was about 17-18mpg when i had the stock trans and smarty, throwing injectors in i was over 20-21, then i blew the timing piston in the VP-44, and now im down to 10mpg with the smarty on fuel economy mode. :lol: although i have a new Vp-44 on the way.

My truck (stock inj., stock turbo, stock VP, 5" TBE, BHAF, Edge Juice w/Attitude), on a good day, will tickle 18mpg highway. I do about 90% city driving, and I hand-calc about 11-12mpg with a 6spd. No idea why, as it doesn't matter if my Edge is in Economy mode (1), or Tow mode (2) or Race (4).. It doesn't seem to vary. And I rarely turn over 2000prm..

i noticed the smarty helped me alot in the in town mpg. but the smarty also changed the fueling map. I noticed that the 60HP injectors gained me a good 1.5-2 mpg mainly because it shortens the duration that the injector is opened, resulting in better power and a quieter motor.
