But will the mpg numbers given be from the overhead readout or real hand calculated numbers? I bet it will be from the Lie O Meter

Would they have to use something like Mythbusters uses when they do their mileage myths?

i thought that soon all the manufacturers will be using SAE towing standards, that way they will everything will be apples to apples instead of apples to coconuts.

I like coconuts!
I wish they would put the commercial tranny in the 2500 and the 800ft-lb tune. Then I would consider a new truck, not that I can afford it but I would consider it.
