New Edge Juice - what level to use?

Hey guys- I have about 300 miles now since installing my new Edge Juice w/ Attitude. Level 2 is the highest I've used so far, been in level 1 mostly. I towed about 4k lbs. on Saturday and used level 2. Of course I love the power gains, but want to know which level you guys use on your Edge when doing your normal driving. In the instructions it says level 1 is for your best mileage, but a graph I saw somewhere else actually suggested levels 3 & 4 were for mileage. This was surprising to me. Also- what level do you guys use for the low boost fuel adjustment? Just have mine on 1 right now. Won't it use more fuel on a higher level? Thanks for any input- Jason

I drive in s3 and tow in s2 unless egts are stayin to high and i leave my LBF at 5 much more responsive. I was driving in s5 for a while and changed my trans fluid to amsoil torque drive. Night and day diff highly recomend. but you should do some tranny upgrades to run s4 or higher for the safty of your tranny. I also have tranny set up to defuel all shifts. I tend to drive hard but i dont think its needed on lower stages.

I use to drive in level 4, everything was fine. I now run it on level 2 and get about 17 mpg, but i recently read an article in DIESEL POWER magazine (January 2008) that took a LB7 duramax and ran with an intake, exhaust, and edge juice and a handful of other goodies and found that the best mileage is on level 1.

I run mine on level 3 most of the time because i get the best mileage on that but this winter fuel has sucked about 3 miles a gallon off mileage so right now I am getting about 17-17.8 and on the mileage setting i lost a full mile a gallon and I do double check by hand calculating. I run mine on most responsive
