I honestly don't really try to hypermile it anymore, but 15 is about as good as it will get for a full tank. I'm pretty sure that there was a wind at my back or a downhill advantage when I was over 16mpg, because I haven't seen a number like that since. I've talked to a lot of other guys who said they noticed a big difference just after adding the taller, fatter tires, so it doesn't bother me. As long as I gain performance with no loss in fuel economy after my bolt-ons, I will be happy
man that's rough. i bet it is mostly the bigger tires. my getting on it some numbers are only 14.5-15.5. driving descent is 16-16.5. and driving nice well 18+. wonder if i have an over achiever truck?

Sounds like your numbers line up pretty well with the EPA mpg numbers. Mine would if I would have left it alone, but I can't do that
