you have to understand that is not what you are actually getting. that is an instant reading. hand calculate it if you want an accurate reading, and dont ever rely on what the lie-o-meter says.

NO S%$!
I always hand calculate after if fill it all the way until I can see diesel (a F-ing ten minute ordeal). I really get around 16-18 MPGs. I was saying that my BS-meter was telling me 21MPGs, not that I really beleived it!

Ok, today I made a trip from Raleigh, NC to Charlotte, NC. Filled the old girl till I could see it. Round trip was 360 miles from fill up to refill up at the same gas station. Lie-o-meter sais average was 15.8 mpgs. I refilled up with 25.8 gallons. 360 miles/25.8 is 13.95 (14mpgs) Oh, I was towing 6x12 enclosed trailer single axel with about 1000lbs of equipment in it @ 65 mph. I used the 80hp tow. Not to bad of gas milage IMO. I wonder if I could have used the 80 hp econo tune for better mpgs or would that be bad on truck?
