I have never gotten anywhere close to 11mpg. Lowest I have ever gotten was 14mpg and that was towing the 200 miles to Sand Lake & back and then using the rest of the tank around town. Most of the time I get 16-17, no joke, hand calculated and my speedo is dead on as per 2 gps units I have used. Were you in over drive? Sometimes those tuners get better mileage on the higher settings, not the highest but maybe the street tune or #4. Need to get rid of that catalytic converter too. Don't know much about the 06, maybe there is too much emissions stuff, i don't know. Has to be and issue to get that bad of mileage. I romp on mine all the time and still get 16-17 like I said. Also make sure the tire size is set right in the tuner, speedo could be off.

(LBZ's 6 speed trans, and no option for non-overdrive other then you can enter manual mode). We were around town driving. 2nd tank we were in tow haul mode, freeway pulling our trailer. Never over 70, but normally kept it around 55-60. We do have bigger tires so our calculations could be off, but I wouldn't think that much. #4. Need to get rid of that catalytic converter too. YES! my ETGs are high as well. pulling with trailer we saw it hit 1,100 ish but only for a sec or so. Still from what I've been reading that is pretty warm and removing the cat should help it.
