I have a 05 auto, and I have the smarty on SW#3, and I still only get 17.9 to 18.3 depending on how much highway travel I do. I honestly thought it would get better, but doesnt look like it.:dang:

I made 16.1 with my 2010 dually running 80-85 on a 1400 mile run. I had 1 snowmobile hanging out the box.

So much depends on speed and wind. If I drive 60 with no wind I am in the 20 mpg range If I drive 80 in a 20 mph head wind I am in the13.5-14 range Thats what I have been getting this winter. I got my truck last fall and when I didn't have any miles on it I was in the 12-14 range.

I made a 350 mile run last year, and was just shy of 25MPG, all hiway. That was before the compounds, smarty, and new trans.

I was averaging 17.5 combined driving around my house, since smarty on #3 I have been averaging 21 +/- a few tenths. thats all 65mph or less to keep the rpm below 2k and coasting down off ramps. also all via lie-o-meter. But I figure an improvement on the lie-o-meter is an improvement in actual milage.

23-24 highway @ 1800 RPM ( about 65 MPH).

for the lie-o-meter so much depends on accelerating, and idle time at lights or just to run inside the house. I can reset on the highwat and get 22-24 till I get off and have to accelerate up the on ramp or something and that kills the average.

I get around 25 on the highway when running 65 mph
