They seem to be way off on them. Even worse with tuning.

Get the DPF off and some tunes and you'll be up around 18 easily.

On edit... looks like you already do have the tuning. That's DPF off tuning right? Don't forget winter fuel hurts mileage pretty good too.

Yes the DPF/EGR are deleted, just was curious about the MPG's, although it is better than stock. You know you always want more .....

What tune is that on? You haul anything? Just driving around town empty? How old are your tunes?
