Default Horrid gas mileage

My last 2 tanks i got 11 mpg on my cammed full bolt on ls1.

But basically, I got my VE and MAF right on the spot with a wideband. Im commanding 12.8 richened to 12.6 through pe. I havent been driving that crazy.

It seems like there are quite a few people getting better than this with similar setups. I am going to give closed loop + reenabling dfco a shot.

Car is completely tuned up as well.

Bottom line, i don't expect to be getting awesome gas mileage because after all it is a cammed sports car but i think 11 is a little low. Id be more than happy with 15.

Might check your idle. That's been my problem--running too rich there. I'm getting 14-15 in mostly city driving though--similar set-up as yours.
