Fuel Mileage went in the crapper
Wow my last tank of fuel sure was bad, barely made 10 mpg. Cold temps, blended fuel, extended warm up times really takes a toll on fuel mileage. These trucks can't possibly burn much fuel just sitting and warming up even with high idle and 3 cyl. warm up can they Maybe time for a new fuel filter too. I have to try something

3-5 GPH for 3 cylinder warm up...
1-3 GPH for high idle...
This varies for exhaust brake usage too...
I'm right at 14-15 MPG as well... So it not much better here...

Electronics are a beautiful thing... I got to admit the 12V is easy to make power with but the electronic 24V's tend making foolers and such easy with a few basic electronic parts and switches...
