I always chose number 13 when playing youth sports. In soccer My name was Leadfoot.
Were you allowed to play basketball? I’d figure they treated you like Dodges racing in the late 60’s and b**** unfair advantage and kick you out of the sport.

Not bad numbers there sir. I know you wouldn't lie to me I just like giving you s***. Ill be honest my truck wont get that mileage. Its 10-15 no matter how much weight is behind it. I wish it were better but I didn't buy it for fuel mileage. I put on 30k a year. If my mileage improved by 5mpg it would save me about a grand$. In the grand scheme of things it's not that big of deal for me. But for a guy like you and jackal it's more important.

Mine did 8.2 a good pulling this 16,300lb cunt across I-80 from Indiana to Utah. Then turned around and did 16 empty until Colorado Springs where I picked up a 6500lb v-nose 32ft bumper pull then managed 12.5-13 if I kept it at 65. To be fair I’m 2 tires and 2 weight classes heavier than you 250/2500 guys. Third pic was my overall average for today with 200 miles of empty and 450 loaded miles with that v nose.

If you guys are getting your mileage numbers from trusting the “lieometer” your delusional. My old Cummins would show up to 28mpg sometimes and when I checked it with a calculator I was lucky to get 20 here and there. Every truck lies. Even my new eco boost all stock usually exaggerates by 1-2 mpg. I use an app called Fuelly and track every single rank for every vehicle we own. My wife’s bmw diesel suv gets a legit 32-35 mpg. My duramax got legit 16-18mpg, and my ecoboost gets 17-20. All numbers are empty. Start tracking your mileage with a calculator and you’ll get off your high horses.

I hand calculate it like tfl truck does and most of the time I'm a couple tenths better than the lieometer. But on my gassers I could be off by as much as 2 mpg! In the neg. If it read 10 I was 8.9

I’ve never had a vehicle within 1 mpg consistently. You also have to make sure you are filling the same way every time. You need to calculate 2-3 tanks before you get close. If you fill more or less on a tank it can change the mpg. (Ie fill til its coming out of the neck one tank then just fill til the pump clicks the next.) if yours is that close I’d be shocked.

Any of my numbers are based off of a full tank and a calculator. Accurate. I’ve never owned anything with a fuel mileage indicator.

Haha I figured as much for you. I just keep seeing pictures of the dash. Those things lie like crazy in my personal experience.

No no no nooooooo you're way wrong. If it's a cummins its 4mpg better than the dash says and everything else is at least 4mpg worse than it says.
