Wow very impressive! I'm getting about 16 mpg average presently on my usual driving routes.

EPA Rating is 13 city, 17 highway, 14 avg. Truck has 250,000 miles on it. No mods whatsoever so far.

First thing to change is adding the mpg meter (Torque app w/dongle).

Then testing to get a baseline.

Then removing that sunshade and seeing what the difference is.

Probably after that will come a half tonneau out of plywood.

And blocking the grill (high temps here are about 35F these days).

I'd like to hear recommendations for fluids like differential, if you think that makes a difference.

The tuner/programmer should be here by then, and I'll have to study up on the many topics that touches on.

Suggestions in general for this truck from anyone interested are greatly appreciated.
