Default What's the MPG of DMAX??

I was just wondering what kind of MPG DMAX gets in town? Been having a ton of problems with my cummins and thinking about getting a DMAX

Mods are in my sig, nothing really just cut out the muffler/cat, modified my intake and am running an EFI live 415rwhp tune

I get between 13-22 depending how I drive

So all you have is an intake and efi live, if I pull through and get a DMAX that's prolly all I'll do, or I'll just put a edge in don't know yet

I have the basic edge evolution.. couldn't pass it up for $100 used
it's an OK programmer, nothing special.. feels like it runs some scary timing on higher levels.. real clattery, EFI Live is the king of programming setups.. if you want on the fly levels etc, you can go from fuel economy to drag at the flip of a switch basically.

my truck is bone stock, the edge is my only mod.

actually I have a stock intake I just did the PPE airbox mod to it, the stock filter is more than good enough for over 500hp
