A lot of people say the best economy is with the 110 tune - IF you can keep your foot out of it. But that tune is a pretty heavy smoker, so you might try the 90. It smokes a lot less.

Or just take the friggin' DPF off

That is the wisest thing to do in terms of performance and dependability.

I Wouldnt Go Over 70.. 90 doesnt smoke to much more than 70 but you will regen about every 100-150 miles... Thats 2-3 times per tank.. It'l kill your MPG! I tried the 110 also and I cloged the DPF after 30 Miles on the freeway!

Do the right thing and lose the DOC and DPF...

With 10" of lift and 37x13.50's I am seeing a minimum of 18 MPG on the freeway!

I'm running the quad with the dpf deleted on my 08 lmm,empty mileage isn't any better than stock when babying it but it seems to get better mileasge when driving 80 mph and towing. example-towing my 2 place covered snowmobile trailer my lbz (which was stock)and this lmm get around 10.5 at 77 mph (depending on head wind or tail wind). I see closer to 12+ with it in the 70 hp mode. I'manxious to see what kind of mileage it gets when it warms up around here,Smitty

I get 14-16 mpg. Set on econo thru 70hp. A little better than stock. I wonder how many people exaggerate their mpg! LOL 3-5 mpg increase, kinda hard to believe.

That MPG Has Always Been At Or Below 70MPH On The Freeway.

I Just Got Back From a 400 Mile Trip I Had The Truck At 80-85 Almost The Whole Way On Freeway. I Got 14.5 At That Speed!:(
