I personally get descent numbers in 3 or 5 on my Edge. Level 1 gives good numbers, but the power trade-off makes it worth it.

SCT users claim good numbers with there power tunes also.

SCT is the only way to go.

I did 16-18 MPG with my Edge on 3. I just switched to a SCT Livewire and I'm getting 14 consistently but the novelity still hasn't worn of the new injectors so its hard for me to personally compare the two right now...

Never mod for mileage, it rarely works out. Mod for power, and then if you happen to get some mileage, be happy.

That being said, I got 15mpg driving stock and slow, and I get 15mpg with Innovatives extreme tunes beating on it..

so very true...when done within reason power is mileage...think about it...engine doesnt have to work as hard to push the heavy truck...so it asks for less fuel...which equals better mpgs (ya this has limits) now ive just got a superchip but i pull the mid to high teens on the mpg tune (if i dont let the truck go much over 2250 rpm) but its a feat to be able to keep the rpms much under that while driving anywhere except on the freeway...
