I get 4 mpg better, intown empty and 3 on the highway empty.

Towing I only got .75 to 1 mpg better. It takes X amount of power to tow and the 6.7 can be thirsty when asked to work. That being said, she is a towing monster, with the 6 speed auto and engine brake, I'd never go back to the 5.9.

Also, all numbers are hand calculated. Since I did the emissions "adjustments", in almost a year, I've had no issues other than a low battery voltage code. It is -30 and its sat for over a week, so I'll give it a break on that one.

Justcampin, did you get your mpg from the EVIC or did you hand calculate the mpg?
