Fuel Mileage
yep. . .that 16&8 mix goes for the entire tank. . .
and one more thing, if you have below 20K your mileage will be going up, heck, I have 32K on my 04.5 and the mileage is still slowly increaseing, but not like it was when I first got her.
my first tank netted me only 13mpg, 32K later I'm getting 18-20 depending on my driveing.

2004 2500 with 47000 miles. 20.2-21-7 highway between 2000 and 2100 rpm. No appreciable load. Two weeks ago I pulled a 7500 pound tandem tool trailer on the highway at 68-72 mph and got 12.5-13.5 mpg depending on winds. All this with Drews magic brew. When I drop my emply load speed to 65 mph the mileage goes up at least 2 mpg on flat road.

I'm curious too mbaz. What difference are y'all seeing between hand calc. and the computer. I just bought mine '06 4X4 2500. Everything on it is stock. I have about 2000 mi. I've been using about 8-10 oz. of PS white bottle in it. I'm getting about 14 or so on the computer. Most of my driving is 60%city\40%highway right now.

I only have about 450 miles on her but am getting 15.5 according to the computer. That is mixed, city, highway and stop and go traffic. After the first reset it showed 18.2 after 127 miles of highway, but a few days of driving in traffic and around town brought it down. Cant wait to pull with it. My HEMI was giving me about 6.5 pulling my toy hauler and 10.5 on the highway
ken, you wont even know the load is back there
and a better way to judge your fuel mileage is to hand calculate it. but watch out for the idiocy factor of diesel. . .foaming[:@]

the edge will affect it but leaving the box on #1 and un-changed over a period of weeks has shown me the OH comp sucks. Here's the error #'s... this is the hand calculated # subtracted from the OH comp #.

there are some tanks of fuel that I thru out becasue of using the edge on different #'s. I keep track on each tank the additive, edge setting and which airbox is installed.
something else I just notice while looking at my spreadsheet... since adding the synth oil, mileage is up about .5 mpg (averaging 4 data points for each... reg oil vs synth, afe kit on, additive to tank & edge on #1)
