08 GT with CAI and a tune.

I run 93 octane because of the tune, and I can get 26-27 on a long trip. Normally high teens/low 20s in daily mix of highway/surface streets.

Here is the interesting thing, I bought the tuner solely to turn OFF the annoying DOD (the thing that makes it a 4cyl to "save gas") and my MPG didn't move an inch. If anything the 93 tune probably moved it up a little.

So for MPG, you can get away with a tuner and slapping that bad boy in 8cyl all the time and not lose a thing (good excuse anyway).
