, the DIC is programmed based on stock parameters and thus is inaccurate.

Welcome to the club And yes that DIC is inflated a little do to the nature of how that info is generated, but here on ls1tech were sorta used to inflated numbers

The best gas mileage I got on my Z06 was 29mpg when I went on a long road trip to NY from TN. My average when I was on boltons was about 18mpg with 60% highway driving.

If you have non-stock injectors and stock injector data, your DIC is wrong. Put in the right injector data and your mileage will come down to low 20s....

Do you know what injectors you have and what injector data is in your tune?

I had a hack tune and showed 30 on the DIC. I put in the right injector data and fixed the tune and it gets like 22-23 on the highway now. 408 with 530rwhp and 730 on spray....
