- Too many toyz that are ever changing to list :)
There are always so many variables to mpg, so I will try to add them all in. If you have some I didn't think of let me know and I will add them. Maybe a moderator can make this a sticky?
Before I hear the "it's an HD truck, expect crappy mileage" comments, I get that and expect it and not complaining about it, I still would like to know though!
I'm not sure about Diesel fuel but for the gasser guys, we are still in the winter blend for fuel and when the summer blend gets here we will be getting probably 2% MPG better! For those that don't know the difference here's a link (Winter/Summer gas Diff). My truck is on order so I can't play yet, but I will!
To try and keep this as a legit apples to apples comparison, I would like to do the following criteria. I know it's a lot, but more data points will cut down the variables. Try to answer as many as you can. If you have to leave some blank that's okay too. I made an empty template at the bottom you can copy and paste into your reply to make it easier for you.
