Today was probably as close as I am going to get to a perfect fuel economy run on the loop I drive to test my mods. I had to stop at a grand total of 1 light the entire trip out and back. I did have to slow down to time the lights and only had to "almost" stop at one light. So that is as perfect as it gets I think for this loop I am testing on. The results:
Trip out: 32.2 mpg
Trip back: 38.2 mpg
Speed on highway segments: 55 mph
That is the best fuel economy I have gotten and not likely that I will match it again given how hard it is to make the trip without traffic and the lights hanging you up.
My ABS for the grill block finally arrived. I will try to get that on the truck soon so I can do a few more tests before my next road trip in the truck in October where I will see how close I was able to get to my stated goal of 30 mpg at 65 mph on that trip. That will be about 2000 miles round trip so that will be the real objective here with this truck and one of the reasons I downsized to a smaller truck like this.
