what has been done to the truck if anything, is it lifted? how fast do you drive? are you agressive when you drive? are you hand calculating the mileage?

I have a 01 and it averaged right at 19to20 with 285's on it drove average speed 65-70 on freeway. Now that I threw a programmer on it it's been getting even better probably now at 22-24 need to refigure. So no that's not really good but all trucks are different. My truck's a freak though even when I go to change my oil it looks clean not like most would look.
