I love my spartan but doubling your mileage is not going to happen. Its already been said here but 2-3mpg gains are more realistic with the higher hp tunes.
these trucks just arent built for mileage, plain and simple.

I increased my mileage 2-3mpg by using a Cetane booster. It would be nice to get a 2-3mpg gain without running an additive, too. kyle, do you run an additive too, and if so, do you actually get 4-8mpg better than stock? If so, I might get a Spartan.

So here's what I did....
I went to NADP in Edmonton, and they suggested the Edge Racing Evolution, so I went with the CTS, did an intake, and DPF delete. Goodbye warranty, hello mileage. The moment I picked it up, I went from (on the lie o meter at that point) 23l / 100 km, down to 13 - 15. I have a titan tank and was getting 500 - 600 km out of it, and the most I've done so far is 1100, with a quad in the box. I'm happy to say the least. That was almost all highway and cruising around 108 km/hr. Since it's dropped way below freezing that number has gone way down tho, only getting between 7-850 km / tank. I'm using the economy setting. Tried the towing setting, but the truck didn't seem to run as well.
Here's a question, when changing between settings, should you run it in stock for a bit then a power setting?
Bottom line, I'm VERY impressed. May do it on my '08, and other '10 trucks in my fleet.
