Unless you take that full size and load it on the back of an 18 wheeler, no one is getting that mpg out of a fullsize truck, it just aint happening.
Unless your driving style is engine not turned on, coasting down a hill, or parked in your garage it just ain't kosher.

What reason does the guy have to lie? To impress a bunch of people he's never met, many of whom don't even think twice about his existence on a daily basis?
Maybe you're into that, but I doubt anyone whose here in a serious capacity really would even bother. Your fuel logs are for you, not to brag and blah blah. If you don't believe him, I guess that's your given right, but to say that "it defies logic, engineering, and truth" is just plain false. It's sentiments like that that keep people in the dark when it comes to getting more bang for their fuel bucks.
By the way, he gets a 30% bonus right off the bat... he's got a diesel.
