Thumbs up WOW! best ive ever had

I am not BSing i really don't know how i did it, but when i filled up with gas today after coming back from skiing in NM i calculated my MPG and i got a 16.7!! that's the best i have ever had by 2mpg. i guess its all technically downhill drive from there to my house. the weird thing is is that my avg speed was about 82, traveling in large packs helps keep the cops from stopping us all. I just had to tell yall. it def made my Ski trip well worth taking my 4x4 truck!

Share the wealth. I get 10MPG no matter what I do. I could push the truck out of an airplane and can guarantee you that the fuel light will come on before it hits the ground.

Congrats, I share some of your excitement.

My 3815 tuner on 91 octane setting pushed my winter mileage up from the 9.5-10 MPG to 11.5-12 MPG, 95% in town with short (including WOT onramps) jaunts on the interstate at 70-ish mph. Can't wait to see what my in town mileage is this summer.
