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

Clean filters, higher tire psi, and up to date ecm flash. Easier on the go peddle.

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.
