your mileage is about right looking at it. with 35's and a lift your doing pretty good. What gear ratio do you have? 3.55 or 4.10?

I think you need to have a higher post count to get the sig. I think its either 20 or 50 before you get a sig.

Mileage seems good to me, I had the superchips and i got rid of it, got better mileage without it. I get steady 15 mpg city. Here its flat cause im in the ohio river valley, but up home its quite hilly and i only get 13 mpg. Two lane Highway 55-60 is between 17-20mpg, but get it out on the interstate running 65-70 drops to 14-16mpg.

i am avg 75-80 mph on mostly flat highways, maybe 5-10 miles a day less then 40 mph, the highway drive is about 60 miles a day and i am averaging about 16 depending on how i drive off from the traffic lights, never better then 17 since i run the ulsd fuel

That seem to be right in my book cause of your 4.10 and over size tires bring you rps to exactly where mine are and running that speed im suprised you get that good of mileage.
