driving at 55 mph help mpg way a lot. guess what i got 23.4 mpg on overhead but i calculated that i got 22.6 mpg. it is bone stock with 5 ppl in my truck. there was a lot of wind. i am happy about that.
I see the best MPG at 65. There's a noticable decrease over/under that speed. However my foot is heavy and I rarely see under 75 on the highway, I still am averaging 17-18 right now... I can live with that...
