Default Real MPG???

Okay,
I am curious as to what guys are really getting as far as MPG.
I am interested in hearing tips on tuning results from forum members that have had good results w/ mpg.

It seems that I average around 15-16 mpg, with my setup below.
I "get on it" often, and I know the 3.73's don't help or hurt. I do half and half highway/stop and go city. I also believe it letting the engine come up to operating temp first in the a.m. before driving.

Again, I know this is subjective. I am just interested in how some guys manage to achieve "20 mpg"....
