Finally someone telling te truth about the mileage! Good job by the way.
It is a bummer having to baby it so much to get mileage from it but it can be done. I have Spartan 150 dpf delete tune, Edge Juice, Gibson exhaust and Snow performance methanol injection and have a best of 21.2 @65-67 mph.also raised my in town fron 11.1 average to 12.9 so far. Once the tuning on the methanol is finished I expect a little more.
