Milage with Edge EZ
See my Sig. I run on #3 EZ and get better MPG. However, as you can see in my Sig. I did improvements to make it better along with the Edge

The Bully Dog lived up to its brag about mileage improvement. For me it works out to between 1 and 2 mpg depending on temperatures outside, and how impatient I am with the traffic. Driving 65-70 I get 20mpg highway, and if I can actually stay at 65 it' 21+. At 75-80, on the other hand, i'm in the 18 range. Hope this helped.

The other reasons I run most of the time with the box turned off are these: I havn't done the TQ or Valve Body upgrades yet, and I really dislike the "overrun" you can get when you get back out of the go pedal when you are in traffic or the twisty sections, along with the high egts up here in the thin air.
I would very much like to hear from other owners of the Ramifier concerning the mileage issue.

The soon-to-be-released Mads Electronics Smarty is the only device that has a program specifically for fuel mileage.
Also, the TST has a setting that only changes timing, adding zero fuel for increased mileage.

I run the juice/Attitude combo and have done the tone ring mod, I didn't really notice much milage increase, but i think that is mostly my foot. The thing that helped me the most on my 05 was the new update from DC, it has only been out for a couple of weeks and some of the dealers don't even know about it yet. I was told by my local dealer that there was no update for the 05, only the 04, but I went to another dealer and they found it. I was the first one they had done on an 05 and I got almost 2mpg out of it. My truck is a 1 ton long bed and I tow often and always have 4 other guys riding with me, and I am not a very conservative driver. I have been getting around 16.8-17.4 hand calculated so I am happy with that.
