Well I had the chance to take a little 40 mile trip after work. Reset the Lie-O-meter from a dead stop but full warmed up, accelerated to about 58-60mph and held it there the best I could. After going through 2 small towns but catching the lights and turning around and going back 20 miles it was reading 33.5 average over 40 miles. Now that may be a lie but even if it is 10 mpg off it is still pretty freaking sweet. This is on winter diesel no less although it was 45 degrees today. Speedometer seems close according to one of those radar speed signs and my GPS, it may be reading 2 mph low at that speed. I did fill the 35 gallon tank but not until after that run, it may take awhile to get a hand calculated number and I'm back to probably just driving around town, and short trips anyway.
