I'm up to 14.5-15 towing down the interstate 75-80mph with the 6.0. Also up to 14 around town now.
On The Tree
Best MPG on a long trip was 14.7 highway. That was using math not the computer. City mileage, I don't know, I think maybe 6 mpg
2.3 liter twin screw, 8psi, mild cam, 5.3 liter, 2600 rpm Circle D, 3.73 gears, crew cab 2wd, 22" wheels.

My overall average is 13.5 and I usually get 15.5-16.5 cruising on the highway at 80mph with 3.73s with my 6.2/6L80e Trick Turbo 76mm stage 3 kit in my Silvy.
Teching In
Right now I'm getting 13.5 hwy.
Running a KB Racing turbo kit on my 4.8L
I just bought the AutoCal EFI Live tuner from BlackBear and am waiting for a new tune that's a little leaner up to 2-3 psi.
The truck smells rich right now. I should be able to go leaner without any knock. I've run 89 octane with the boost and no knock.
I might end up going with an intercooler to cool things down a little, not sure yet.
