thats not evidence.

thats like going to a street racing website to "prove" that a honda civic can't possibly get 90mpg, and basjoos must be lying when he claims to.

The people at deiselstop aren't trying to maximize their mileage. If they were, they would be posting here. Before I started hypermiling and ecomodding I was getting 15-17mpg too.

Its not a matter of your "data", its the fact that you are implying that I and other truck owners on this forum are lying.
Its not even offensive as much as just baffling. Why would you even look up a forum to get typical mileage? I have a mileage log which shows the average in my signature. If you don't believe its possible to get better than typical mileage using a combination of mods and driving technique, why aren't you raising the same objection to every post on this forum?
