Woohoo... mpg update...
filled up in Lone Pine, drove over Sonora Pass, 9500+ ft, kept my boost at 10psi or below and let the torque do all the work, 19.00 mpg over 345 miles. A new all time high for my truck.

RE: Woohoo... mpg update...
what are you running the TST at? I pretty much do strictly town driving and I am seeing 16-17 on setting 1. My over head has been spot on the last 6 fill ups. For the heck of it, I ranit (easily) at 4/2 right after I filled up for about 60-70 miles of back road driving. I was at 18.2. I want to try a whole tank on that setting, but I'm a little nervous to run it that high for that long.

RE: Woohoo... mpg update...
the TST was set to 1, rail pressure off. I did end up doing alot of gearing down while going down some of the grades so I'm not sure how that fits into it.
Most of the time I'm 14~15 mpg combined city/hiway... mostly city though.

I dunno if I am finally starting to get things broke in or what but my last tank was 15.7...the best I have gotten over the first 6k miles...of course 3200 of that was pulling a 5th wheel.
