Could you clarify? The odometer shows 190, and the trip was 350. Just trying to understand more on how you got this great mpg...thanksHere’s my average for a 350 mile highway trip today. 65-80 MPH, Retrax tonneau, no Yakima rack, Velossa Tech Big Mouth, aFe intake scoop, K&N, FP Tune, 93 octane, Mishimoto Intercooler/piping, Fox 2.0 rear’s, 60 degrees average temp, 38 PSI tires.

Ah, thanks. Sorry; the bottom of the page didn't show, my bad.Please read the side note.
See my post above.Groo here
Those of you who get low milage,,, are you using "Sport"?
Sport and tow/haul lock out the top two overdrive gears [ 9/10]
I know you want the "Fun" facter but if you want mileage ,,,
Use "D" intown [for the start /stop] and on the freeway. [for the overdrive]
You may use "sport" or Tow/haul where speeds are 55 or under. [works best for me]
Also , as this a TRUCK and not a sports car , speeds over 65 will burn much more gass.
Wind resistance from racks or taller trailers will eat a lot of gass but weight in the bed
[I have been loaded to 1400 , me and steel] does not seem to matter much except for stop and go
areas.
I was noticing the same ish thing on my end as well between D & tow. Sometimes tow being in a lower gear or staying in a lower gear longer bumped up my mpg, then sometimes D holding the higher gear gets me the better mileage. Weird how that works.17k miles
Lifted on E-Rated 33"s. Otherwise stock.
Hand calculated mileage accross entire tanks. All filled at the same pump, stopped at first click off. All tanks were Colorado premium, 91 octane.
Tank driven in D= 16.15 mpg
Tank driven in Tow= 17.69 mpg
Tank driven in S= 15.56 mpg
