First Impressions of the Ecodiesel
I'll start off by saying no I have not towed anything yet but am looking for a donner trailer to hook to and run down the highway for about 400 miles round trip. Just to see how she handles a trailer....

Here's the fuel display from my latest trip to and from our deer camp. Again 3 people with gear and winter blend fuel. Delivered....
50 mph average speed according to the miles on the trip and running time noted as well. I've had up to 22mpg on a tank with average speed in the thirties. Check out my fuelly account by clicking on my truck below. I add average speed to all my fuel posts.
Fuelly accounts are not scientific. All they consist of are figures that you enter. Is there a cumulative since last reset on your onboard computer? My diesel has a cumulative readout in the instrument cluster that can go back to day 1 when the mileage was 0, unless you reset it. There's no romancing the numbers then. It includes everything including an hourmeter. There's always a way to make your truck look better than it is cumulatively speaking, with a snapshot. That's where hairbending 50 mpg figures come from on vehicles that never return over 30 mpg average.
