My nephew is getting in the 20's on the highway keeping it down to 60 mph with his 2000 Dodge Cummins with no mods except an open exhaust.

I cant comment on the fuel mileage with the edge but you will notice ALOT better improvements with the programmer. Mine is on the tow setting and it will move pretty damn good taking off from a red light. All diesels you will see a pretty big improvement with a chip or programmer

Ive been told by many people, exhaust, intake and a chip or programmer on the diesels will help out if you keep your foot off the floor.
