I'm getting about 12.5 MPG in my LB7... I know it should be better than that...could it be that i need a new fuel filter??

I just changed my oil and fuel filter to try and get better mileage. I also have my evolution on economy and my computer still says 12.5 mpg. My friend has he same truck with similar mods and his say 20mpg. WTF?
Check and make sure your friend is properly calculating his fuel mileage, because trust me if he is getting 20mpg around town then we all want to know what he is doing.
