I recently bought a 6.0 ford and heard 19-20mpg is attainable with a tuner. I put a sct tuner on it and exhaust and am only getting 17mph on highway non towing at 70mph. Is there other things I can do to help with mileage increase. it has 20" tires

in my 06 with innovative's tow tune I get 19.5 or so empty running 70-75. I get a little over 20 at the same speeds with the 100hp street tune. If I slow down it gets better. I have never ran the economy tune to test it, it usually stays on the tow tune. That is stock height with just turbo back exhaust and an egr delete.
