Fuel economy

It will get a little better when we stop using Winter Diesel. There are more calories in the summer blend, thus better mileage.

That makes sense, I was wondering why my mileage is better in the summer.

13 is probably my average. more like 12 with the occasional 15 thrown in just to keep me happy I guess. That's mixed driving but most is probably hwy. time.



Now...if I could just keep a tranny under it!

i get about 14mpg city, 16-17mpg highway. this is with my DP tuner on the 80 hp eco setting. i did seem to get a bit better with my old super chip. i would classify myself as a spirited driver. i only set it to the floor once or twice a week. i just thought i would get better mpg with my DP tuner. im going to start another thread for suggestions on tips to improve fuel mileage.

Just got to Tonopah AZ. from 14 mile south of Canada in MN was about 2400 mi trip. Full load rig and trailer in tow saw mostly 8 to 8.7, sure is nice 72 beats -22. Think we will stay here for the rest of winter.

im backwards with my short gearing and lift i get about 12-13 in city and 10 on freeway going 65. 8 if towing at 60mph with a moderate load. i never speed now so i can save $$. If i drive 40-50 range i get like 14+
I try to keep my foot out of it as much as possible, but its hard
