MPG on an 03 7.3 4x2. Idiot gauge wrong?

I just sold my 2003 ford 7.3L 4x2 to a friend of mine. According to the idiot gauge on the upper console I was getting anywhere from 25 to 30 miles a gallon. I thought it was true and never checked it against the odometer. HE HAS and found that he is only getting 15.3 on the truck. I have a banks kit and a 4 inch exhaust. I found it hard to believe.

What are you guys getting on the 7.3?

mpg gauge can be reset by holding both buttons down together it should zero out and give you new reading for the current driving habits. :jump:
