Thats true, I put my stock tires back on and coming from shell to work was27.4 then put my 285's back on from shell and got 25.7, I checked my numbers today on 8 gals and miles was 130 the 285's gave me 16.25 mpg, I wish I could tell you that Ethos failed my test, I have 2 weeks left to see the average I can save, Gas here is 3.79 I put 20 gals in and I hope to see between 18 and 20 as far as Im concerned Im happy at 16 per gal.

I think for those who see no difference they are using high end oils & fuels i always used mobil1 and chevron premium and averaged 14s on 34 inch tires.

Somethings wrong with it dude. I have the 5.9L, and running 87 or 89 I never got under 9.5 in town, and that was during the winter without my upgrades.
