Why wouldn't GM do that from the factory? What are you going to sacrifice in drivability to get that?
But you can get 10% by doing maintenance, and driving carefully.

I have gone from 22 mpg to 26 mpg by driving s l o w e r (AKA speedlimit)
What I want to do is..
1)Have it hold OD longer during slightly more throttle input like going up a hill
2)I want it to immediately shift back into OD during throttle lift off and reapplication. Right now it takes 2 seconds to shift back into OD
3) lower rpm shift points for 2nd and 3rd gear during light throttle applications. 4th seams OK as it is.
4) lower the temperature the engine has to reach before the tranny will shift into OD during cold start. This alone will see an increase of %50 during the first 3 miles driven.
