Fuel Mileage
I see people on here talking about 16-17 miles per gallon, and some saying they get 20. My truck is in my sig, and around town, the best I can get is 14 on the highway, the best I can get is 16-17, this is hand calculated. Since adding the EZ the overhead display is off about 2 miles per gallon, but was accurate before that. What could be the problem here with my fuel mileage?

The best thing I found for fuel mileage is..
If I set my cruise for...
- Inflate you tires to about 50-60 PSI
- Cruise at a slower rate (55 MPH - Yes it boring...)
- Use some power service or fuel additive every tank.
- Reduce you loads (weight and size) if you can.
- Don't drive it like you stole it... (I'm guilty of this once in awhile!)
If I set my cruise for...
- 65 MPH = 17 MPG
- 55 MPH = 21 MPG
