fuel mileage

Just got back from Sask.Love those highways...Blow the trackbar out...Beside that,I ran out of bio so I had to fuel the truck with diesel.So decide to check the fuel milage which I haven't checked for three years and didn't have the mods in.Was concerned if the laser cuts would affect mileage.As a stock truck I was getting between 18 and 20 MPG at 70 MPH.Good news at 70 MPH I got 18.7 MPH.....But get this...at 75 MPH my mileage was 19.04 MPG....I think my calcuations are right...Did 176KMs and filled 26.580 Litres of fuel (70MPH).Next stop did 242 KMS and filled 35.91 litres(75 MHP).

Nice, seems right up there where it should be if not better seeing as its a dually.
I might have to come by one of these days and check out your Bio set up if you dont mind. I wanna try rigging up some sort of set up soon. I work for Badger Delivery Service now and my fuel costs will be through the roof if I don't do something, and apparently theres a diesel shortage right now, petro canada and esso stations all over town were out of diesel.
P.S. Stacks give you an extra 4 miles per gallon
