DaGnoma exceeding expectations...

I realize it isn't much compared to some of you guys, but I'm excited about the improvements that I have made with my Sonoma. She has the 4.3L V6 with a 5-speed and 3.08 final drive. EPA rating of 16 combined, yet on this tank so far I have kept an average of 28.6 MPG! 78% over EPA with no aero mods whatsoever, just driving by instant MPG. I don't have a Scangauge yet, but I do have an ODB2-USB adapter and a laptop. The software appears to be bang-on with the speedo and fuel - when I arrived at work this morning I had 243 miles on the trip odo with slightly over a half tank. At this rate, I'm estimating 470 miles on this tank or an entire week of gas for my commute at about 80 miles roundtrip. Previously, I'd have to fill up Monday morning and again on Thursday afternoon. Now for that air dam and half-tonneau... 30+ MPG here I come!
