I've put about 100 miles on my truck and I reset the Avg. Econ. It now shows 10.8 mpg. 50% city, 50% highway.

Yeah, I was hoping that with the Procharger, injectors, a 220 cam, and 373 gears on a 5.3 motor would keep me at about 15 mpg. I drive almost all highway.

Cool. I have a Trailblazer convertor that I plan on using to give me alittle more get up, but also help with gas. I've heard alot of gas milage is lost with big convertors.
