I took a 428 miles one way.... all highway and cruise.
A little cheating.. I ran lp much of the time and am using Stanadyne performance.


Check my math....

400 miles
20.6 gal

33" tires....... 7% ????


400 x 1.07 = 428

428 / 20.6 = 20.77 mpg

Maybe since I was going south being all downhill? ;)

Cape Hatteras, NC Nothing but fishing for a week. Truck was perfect.

To make sure you did, you need to go North for at least that distance :D

I got 14.9 for my second tank in a row yesterday. All stop and go, city driving with 40HP Pred and Level 2 hot juice most of the time. Been really light footing it as much as possible just to see what it would get.

The strange thing is, my DIC average was exactly correct both times. I didnt think it would be accurate anymore with the two boxes on board. :confused:

I to am hoping my D.I.C. is close with the new box.

Some of the best fishing in the world! The kids used to surf cast off the beach near our site and catch all kinds of stuff

Great MPG!!!

My best was 21.8 calculated not by the DIC, but I was trying for high mpg 65-70 mph, no normal lead foot. Wife asked if I was feeling OK :D

had some figures like that once it was a short trip (less than 250 miles) and I stayed under 65 mph(not easy for me).......netted around 21mpg.....on my trip to sturgis I got a steady 11.9 mpg pulling my motorcycle trailor(8X7X20) at 6k or so and propane made no difference........great numbers :D dave
