Evo 8 Gas mileage

hey, i have a built evo 8 currently getting 7mpg, and that is terrible, it needs a retune for sure, but i was wondering if a retune will help my gas mileage?

You should be getting better then 7mpg at cruise if your afr's are anywhere close to 14-15, something else is off or your wideband is off.

If you're on E85 that may be the culprit. We need more information.
