Default Allright SMARTY...

I recently got me a smarty but would appreciate a little input on what some of you are running for settings that are working out for you pretty well. I don't tow too much, when I do, it is only about a 6000# camper. Mostly just back and forth to the rig and home again... would like a little better mileage.

I too leave mine on the fuel saver mode. I was very surprised how aggressive it was for a fuel saver.

I had read several reviews prior that have told me that the mileage setting wasn't so much, but I did change it to #1, and at first glance, it looks like it is doing what it says, but I need see where its at at the end of the tank... anything over 13 mpg would be fantastic.

ive never bothered trying to get additionl milage out of my truck, if i wanted good milage id walk. but for me i set everything to kill except timing i leave it on defult. it does make for a much more driver friendly truck. no where near the fun of the adrenaline.
