I get between 11.5 and 12.5. Doesn't seem to matter how I drive. So I am going add a 6" lift, 35's, programmer, intake and exhaust.

I used to average about 12.4 mpg before the lift & Edge.

Honestly, I have been afraid to calculate a tank since the lift...

I've been driving a company Maxima for the past month or so. 22mpg sure make sa huge difference, even with Premium fuel.

i haven't seen anyone really state it, but do any of you have mods done that are giving you bad gas mileage? ie: intake, exhaust, chips? has it helped at all or hurt?....i have only had my screw for about 2 weeks now, and on my second tank of gas. I figured mpg was only 11, and that's pretty much just in town driving. I have to admit though...the first week I was getting on it a little bit because this is my first big vehicle with a big engine! I think i actually watched the needle drop when i pushed the pedal all the way to the floor.....lol

I did,

Installed exhaust had to hear it rumble so I was probably getting on it more.
Same goes for the Edge.
Mods are only good for gas mileage if you can keep your foot out of it.

Yeah, then, what's the point of the mod?
