I've noticed the economy mode not do anything for me except kill my power. mostly highway, I'll average about 20. mixed is about 17! I don't even want to try just a city test...

With a slightly tuned Cobb map, I never saw below 24mpg average. All highway drives to work on light traffic days I'd be at 28mpg.

OP; how fresh is your diff fluid? Tire pressures up to spec? Running wide/herrafrush meats? That 22mpg seems low if it was a highway cruise, altho 80mph would have you above 3k rpm and right where boost may be kicking in.
