Heading to town going south on Valley Dr at 55 MPH 26 MPG at 91 F, little or no wind. Returning home 25 MPG, average going both ways 25.5 MPG.

I-25 North AT 60 MPH 25 MPG. Going South at 65 MPH 20 MPG. Going North at 70 MPH 19 MPG. Do over at 70 MPH 22 MPG, average of the two 20.5 MPG.

Going North on I-25 at 75 MPH 20 MPG. It was 94 F when we ended the test. The test circuit was 40.1 miles.

Note: Taking 200 lbs off the truck bed allowed the springs to tilt the truck up a little. This means that the level in my truck is off from what I am used to seeing. I had to go from memory of sections of the road I had previously determined to be level. This makes me wonder if I don't need to have the headlights aimed down a tad for using the Aerolid which is the normal way we run the truck?
