So how much better miliage does a 2WD get over a 4WD?
How much miliage improvement will and EZ make?
I ask because my 4WD 555 does 21 MPG on the hwy at 65mph. And yes, this is my overhead mileage but I have 12k miles of tracking that shows my overhead is within 1% of hand calculated.
It seems that low to mid 20's with a 2WD and EZ would be doable.

Not sure of what you guys are doing wrong, but 26-28mpg is easy to get. I was able to get 85mpg just the other day. I was going down a 10% grade and put the truck in netural. Drove this way for over 10 miles. Was great to see the overhead say 85mpg. The rest of the time when the truck is in drive the best I can get is 18mpg so i say BS to 28mpg.

26mpg is not hard to achieve, but whatever everyone has ridden in his truck to know exactly what he gets. if any of you are around South Fork, CO any time you are welcome to take a ride in it

What ever you are smokin, keep it away from me 
How many want to bet that it has never been hand calculated and is only going off the overhead computer.
Or like some other people I know that go off the guage says it used a 1/2 tanks so that must be exaclty 1/2 of the tank capacity, ya right.....

My edge has been on for about a year and a half and no issues except excessive tire wear
My bad, Level 4 all summer and level 2 in the winter. As for mileage I can honestly say I've gotten 25mpg doing 60 mph, hand calculated, no more no less. The reason for doing 60mph, travelling through the rockies on our way through B.C. And no, this wasn't all down hill. 20mpg-22 every were else via conditions. I do feel for anyone that doesn't get around 20mpg, stock or other wise. I do envy you 600 guys but don't envy your mid teen mileage.
