Default Good Gas Mileage??

Hey, I was wondering...why am I getting such good gas mileage? I drive my truck very hard and get 14.5-15.2 miles per gallon....I live right outside of the city and am getting 120+ miles on a quarter tank...i usually go about 300-360 miles before I fill completely up. I usually like to pick on those fords and chevy's while I cruise around, too All the mods I have are listed and my buddies 360 gets 8-10 mpg...How? lol

Depends on where (and who....) the driving happens. Daughter got about 8 doing the yard sale thing. I got between 16-18 on a long trip, with some mixed city driving, and half of that was with a load....... and with a blown plenum.

Yes, check the gas, and fill up the oil please.
