I use fuelly for all my vehicles, pretty cool (and scary) to see how much you spend in a year, and to log all the fuel ups.
kinda makes you wonder about all of the grandiose claims for mileage though huh?

But there are still a lot of people that don't check their MPH on a gps to see if its right, and the others that cant do math. :tup:

it humbles the people that think that digital readout is correct, haha!
But there are still a lot of people that don't check their MPH on a gps to see if its right, and the others that cant do math. :tup:
The digital readout on my '07 Tahoe and my '11 2500HD are both very close. I've hand calculated mileage vs the readout a bunch and the readout and hand calculated are always with a tenth of a mpg or so.
The lie o meter on my '07 Ram was optimistic by 3-4 mpg all the time.

On a straight highway run unloaded 20mpg is routine. I've seen as high as 22.
Towing my brothers 19' North River Scout to Rufus Woods and back I get about 14
Towing my 26' Duckworth or my 33' fifth wheel I get between 10-11

had an '05 duralemon, don't remember how far it was off now.
99 cummins was 5-7 high, empty highway 22mpg, 15mpg empty city, towing a heavy 26' travel trailer, 14mpg
05 cummins shows 4 high, empty 16.5 city, not sure on the rest yet.

Towing our 31' toyhauler 9500 lbs 10mpg
Highway short trips 30 miles or less 16mpg.
Saturday I had to run to Walla Walla to pick up my wife. 80 miles each way, fueled up when I left, fueled up when I got home. 18.9mpg.
All hand calculated, my Work Truck doesn't have a DIC.

Is it over width? if so how have the CVE troopers treated you? I'm guessing its not a Commercial vehicle...

That couple with low ball trade in offer... If I get rid of current truck it will be through personal sale - screw the dealers. I just wanted my trade in to cut paying this state the extra taxes on a new vehicle. So I guess the WANT has been pushed aside by the real question -WHY do I NEED a new truck...
We make good money and I haven't had a payment in atleast 5 years, so dragging in a payment -auugh. I know I don't spend 500 a month on repairs ever! So off to the shop to take care of a minor problem I been having lately, but just didn't want to do anything about it if I was selling...And of course take advantage of my free oil changes for life on the Chevy!!!!!
