What in the hell? I'm 215, stock tires and rims, and on Economy mode/less boost and you still got better milage than me...

I'm pretty sure it's from my driving style. I try to drive as smooth as possible and keep my cruising speed steady. Also I shift around 3.5k in the lower gears and 3k to get into 4th and 5th without laying into the throttle too much.

Don't bother with the economy map and check the obvious stuff like tire pressures, engine tune-up items, etc.
