it's a little of both and the fact is it's very real!!!you can't compare mine which has a 2nd gen pump as opposed to the rotary and vp44 pumps you are running on your two trucks which neither will get the milage that the p pumps will.

I wasn't doubting you.. I've heard of sooo many 12v owners getting similar mileage.
