I am getting around 17-18 with my 08' LMM. Have you had the ECM reflashed lately?

The dealer will be able to tell you if you have the current Rev. level or not. My mileage is 60% highway and 40% city. When people give you their mileage #'s you sould ask what their # consists of. I had a guy tell me 20-21mpg, I said no way. He then told me it was 95% highway driving.

mike if you use the edge or any other programmer just be careful about your warranty. If they can prove you have one on the truck they will not warranty the motor.
