I have an Edge Juice w/ Attitude and an AFE Stage 2 on the truck already, 7000 miles on the truck. I saw like 10mpg when I first got it and it went to about 16mpg with city/highway combined driving. I installed the intake and chip at 5000 miles. I use the chip primarily on the tow setting and routinely take it to 100 mph and I'm seeing 22mpg on the highway and about 18 - 19 in the city. Could be it breaking in or it could be the mods.

Note: Also, with the Edge I can monitor a ton of stuff and I had noticed a few posts here about EGT's during hard pulls or regen. I can read the EGT's off the module from the sensor I installed in the manifold and I have very rarely ever hit even 1400 F. During pulls it can get up to 1100 pretty easy and 1200 - 1300 w/ the chip at about 85mph WOT. During the regen process it commonly can sit at 1100 but usually won't go over about 1325 even at WOT during the cycle. *Edit* **Wanted to add that the EGT's are roughly 300 degrees higher than usual during regen, from what I have noticed that's about the difference it makes. It is normal to see about 900+ on the highway at 65 mph with some light throttle.** I have it set to de-fuel at 1410 and it hasn't done it at that yet, it did once at 1350 F...though I had started from a standstill to WOT on the race setting so...I can maybe see why! Hope this is understandable and helps.
