What have you found to be the best fuel mileage setting for you.

 

setting 1 so far for me. 18.8mph hand calc, with cruise set at 80. guess i could slow down and see if it gets better! LOL

 

0 for me. Just keeps me from abusing the skinny pedal...

 

would my truck be able to handle the smarty on sw #6?
or should i go with the junior at sw #3

 

Is level 0 on the Smarty still half-power like on the 2nd gens?

 

Yep

I got my best on sw7. My theroy for better mileage on higher settings is that there is more timming.

 

mine also was 7,thought it would be 1 but not for me.

 

i've noticed that the higher the number my smarty is set on, the better the mpg. Of course the (lack of) transmission longevity comes into play here as well!

 

sorry not to get off track but my best mileage was the beta 4.4 on any level have since switched to the new release so i can run a a lower level with a mild catcher to save my driveline parts for a while or until spring

 

My best mileage was 21.86 highway (hand calculated) driving with beta 4.3 on level 3. I also notice with mine even the higher settings don't effect the fuel mileage that much if you stay out of the skinny pedal.

 

sw5 for me. Driving habits dictate how good or bad mileage will be, and the seasons.

 

I found my best mileage to be Stock injectors/aftermarket turbo/mod TM sw7. This was true towing or empty.

 

The more traffic there is ... the better the mileage for me Oh ya also i find #7 gets my best mpg.

 

Driving habits are a huge factor. But I'm getting great mileage on the 90 HP setting. I agree with Armstrong, more timing is better for mileage. So go to a higher power setting with timing and drive it easy.

Mine settles out, hand calced, to about 18.5 for all my driving over a couple thousand miles. Some city, some mountains with and without a load and some highway at 75.

Plus, at the higher settings, you have the power if you want it. Like passing in the mountains or just feeling the thrust once in a while. Instant throttle response on the highway, etc. Very nice.
