When it comes to Miles per gallon - - my DIC info matches very closely to my Fill-up based calculations - amazing really. Secondly it matters if you are running E10/E15 or NO Alcohol. My local Race-Track Gas Station is selling Alcohol Free 89 octane.. cost a bit more but MPG went up about 3 mpg. EPA Fuel Economy Figures are based on Alcohol Free Gasoline.. So if you are not getting EPA numbers - try it with Alcohol Free gasoline (if you can get it your area).

 

Round Trip from Clearwater, FL to Memphis TN- mostly driven freeways at 75 MPH to 80mph... checked mileage at every fill up by gallons purchased vs miles driven. Checked the DIC ever time. DIC was always within 1 mpg. Mileage was 24.6 mpg. Set the cruise at 70mph for a few tanks full mileage was 26.6mpg. Filled up a couple of times with Alcohol Free 89octane - on the last leg set the cruise at 70mph - mileage was 28.7 mpg. That is AMAZING.

 

I love this truck! One problem is that it is so smooth, quite and handles so well - freeway speed tends to creep up if I don't limit myself with the cruse control.. 97mph in a 70 mph zone.. FHP picked me up on radar as I was passing some slower traffic... wasn't watching the Speedo at all - just driving! Ouch!!
