I made a 2600 mile round trip running in performance. The best hand calculated average was 16.7. This is with 2.5 front springs and 315 70 17 tires. I calculated at the first couple fill ups but lost interest after that. I do know that on the way back pulling about 2500 lbs and 1000+lbs in the back of the truck runnin 80 I got 7.5 mpg in performance.

mileage report
I also have the triple dog and I have dissapointed with the "claims" of increased mileage. I do not drive mine any different now than I used to and the mileage is about 14.5. Really no difference than what I was getting before. But, the power is nice and is as advertised.
