Just got back from a road trip. Despite having a level kit my truck still gets incredible mileage. I have some miles on the truck now, just under 4300 miles to give an idea. I averaged 22 MPG on the away leg traveling between 70-75 mph. On the way home, I was ready to get home haha. On the return leg, I averaged 80-85 mph with an average of 19.8MPG on DIC. On the return leg I too a detour which consisted of about 30 miles of 55mph roads with stop lights. Who decided putting a stoplight/sign on a 55MPH 2 lane road, idk, but I don't agree with them haha. On the away leg I had regular, unleaded. I'll check exactly what it is next time I'm at the local pump. On the return trip, I had premium in there. DAMN did that make it more fun. It made the truck sound a bit louder, like it was happier to have the nicer stuff in there haha. And also it got better mileage than usual. Usually for the same trip I use regular going both away and return but I decided for premium for whatever reason this time. I usually avg about 17MPG on the return trip, with the away trip being the same as earlier mentioned, 21-22 MPG.
No winds that day. If anything I had a wind pushing against me/at my side trying to run me off the road. No tailgating/drafting. I just flew around traffic at 80-85 mph and got better mileage than usual.
Just thought I would share!
