I heart my new gas milage
I just want to say that since converting to turbo, my gas milage has gone from around 20-25 as supercharged to 30-35 on average, if I use the cruise on the freeway I can get damn close to 40.
LOVE IT!
that is all.

Are you calculating out the mileage based on miles and gas used, or relying on the DIC readout?
The DIC readout is only accurate with the stock or GM Stage 2 42# injectors. 60's, 79's, 80's, etc will all make your mileage read higher than you're really getting. You'll usually get much better mileage though with bigger injectors and a good tune if you keep your foot out of it.

I lost 50 miles per tank going from the L61 to the LNF and now I'm using Octane 93 
I still need to get a tune, whether it be Trifecta, HPTuners, GM Stage 1, etc. and see how my gas mileage fares then...
