Finally checked my MPG's, figured I'd update this thread. Verified stock tuning on the PCM/TCM as well.

Hwy mpg is 18.1 at 70 mph, calculated manually. We are on winter fuels, if that makes a difference.

Well, EFI live tunes, an Edge CTS w/dash pod, EGT probe, and a backup cam are on the way.

Now the CTS is just a screen for monitoring right? And you can hook the backup cam into it?

I got the CTS Insight, which is just a touchscreen moniter. It will be used to switch to different tune levels as well, and the backup camera plugs into it as well. Switches on automatically when the trans shift into reverse. Gonna be nice for hooking up to trailers.

The CTS can also be ordered with tuning from Edge, if desired.

Yeah the reason winter fuel sucks is because of the anti-gel additives they add at the fuel terminals/gas stations. The additives dont burn well in the engines.
