Re: [VAL] Re: Gas Mileage



Running at 70 on the freeway/highway and more or less posted speed around 
town, I get the following with my 2000 F-250 diesel.  This is all with 
automatic overdrive, and does include mountain mileage while towing.  I 
notice that prevailing wind can have as much effect as terrain on the 
mileage.

Bobtail around town - 18 mpg
Bobtail on highway - 22 - 24 mpg
Towing trailer on highway - 15 - 16 mpg

I am towing a 22' Streamline, probably around 5000 lbs.  My mpg went up 3-4 
mpg when I had a BD chip installed.
