MPG?

I put in an Atlas 40 tuned FICM in my 6.0 Excursion. 115k miles on the vehicle before replacing the stock FICM . I'm now getting just below 14 MPG around town. That seems to be a bit better than the stock tuning I had before. What are you all getting with "city" driving?

I get about the same (+ or - about 1 mpg ) with my 6.0 Ex. Its has a sinister diesel FICM (was on it when I bought it, no idea of the specs) and runs a generic canned SCT tow tune.

Strangle enough, going from stock size tires to 35" tires changed it by only about 0.5 mpg (same 3.73 gears before and after), I really thought the tires would've been a bigger hit to the fuel economy.

About 14 in town sounds about right.
I’ll push just under 20 cruising at 70-75 on the highway.

Same for me as well, pretty reliable high 14s not matter what I do, as there isn't much flat land around here that doesn't have a 40mph head wind in every direction.
