    Better fuel mileage?

    I see different ppl have different approaches to getting better fuel mileage, my last trip I got 14.5 miles to the gallon while running the ac and doing 70 mph with opening her uo a few times so it probably could of been a little better, it's an e38 what's the best way to get better fuel mileage, what steps and adjustments should I make? Add timing in cruse, adjustment 02's adjustment AFR?

    No one has any idea what's in your current tune file, or what kind of results that tune file gives when executed on a running engine, if you do not post the files to look at.

    Data logs of it running also help a lot.

    But cammed/supercharged engines aren't going to get the best fuel mileage. Going 60-65 is likely the sweet spot for mileage on that thing.

    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    I tried getting some logs tonight but unfortunately the highway near me is always congested and I don't expect to get 30mpg, my last trip was 153 miles and truck did 14.5mpg and said I used just about 11 gallons of gas, that was cruising at 70mph with ac on and with jumping on it twice and a third time taking it up to 145mph so it didn't do too bad, I'd just like to see if i can get a little bit more out of it
