Mileage Report

OK so I took a trip this weekend from NC to OH and headed up I77 through the mountains of WV. Some pretty steep hills to say the least and I was loaded only with passangers. On the way up I kept it between 65-70 and returned a 17.8mpg via hand calculated numbers. Coming back I ran mostly 75 mph with some 80mph and returned 16.2mpg for the return. Now last trip with the factory programming I was at between 14 and 14.6 mpg. Looks like mpg are definitly up but i'm not going to see the 4+ improvement like some others are seeing. Either way the improvement is great and the power is amazing. I can actually be running 70mph up some of those big hills and apply the pedal with no down shift and the truck just lurches forward from all the added torque. Much easier to drive for sure. So far very pleased with the Spartan setup.
