I avg. 15mpg.
The DOD is only really worth it on the Interstate over a long trip. I get about 240 miles to a tank of gas. If I go on a trip, I can get up to 380

With my mods I'm at 14.5 MPG city (only 3 miles to work, and I drive it like I stole it). On the road for a 5 hour road trip staying 75 MPH I averaged 25.8 MPG via the DIC, by calculations on fill up it was right at 25.3 so pretty close to accurate. I don't have DOD turned on because I'm getting ready to go with a bigger cam. I would assume that with the DOD turned on I could pull the 28 MPG people are pulling with Intake, tune and exhaust on other sites.

I've been getting 20-21, with a lot of highway driving, but my wife takes the car once or twice a week and that is all city. Haven't gone on a long trip to see what all highway driving gets.

I average 19-21, I can see on highway 23-26.
In City/stop and go, you'll probably see around 17 mpg.
And the above is all about keeping your foot out of it. ;-)

Sorry, i'm new to the site, if you can't tell by my post count. I'm trying to decide between a 2010 Genesis cope, 2010 1SS Camaro, and a 2009 G8 GT.
Anyways, what the heck is this DOD I'm seeing you guys talk about? If you're getting 27+ mpg (highway), this might be the decision makes for me. I would love to have a V8 getting that kind of mpg. I do mainly highway driving.
