Do love my techie toys.
OK. So if there is an error I just have to keep track of how much it is and mentally keep adjust the reading.
I noticed a 2.5 mph increase in my MPG after I changed the oil (unknown miles on the oil. Just bought this truck) and added some Diesel Kleen Cetane booster. I have a small % of my homemade Bio in the tank and figured the increase in MPG was from the additive which helped the lower energy content of the homemade Bio. My MPG is 20.5 at 60 mpg on level ground. It might show higher if I ran it longer at highway speeds. Wondering if this is reasonable for a 3.73 gearset. I have yet to do a fillerup hand calculation.
