21 mpg is fantastic in a '66 truck, though I think in this case yours is more a 2011 with a much nicer body.

Start a garage page for the beast, and we can see how it does on an ongoing basis.
current 21 mpg is way down from what it gets in FE mode. Just switching to 91 Octane brings it up in the 25-26 mpg area. By switching tune and going with 91 octane I have gotten over 30 mpg.

Its currently set for total performance mode to see if it will dip into the 12's in the 1/4 mile.
