I just bought a used (risky, I know) 2000 F-250 7.3, 4x4, crew cab short bed and reading about 71,500 miles as of right now. We're up here in Colorado so I might be getting that lovely winter-mix diesel.

It came with a camper shell, Banks Six-Gun tuner, 5 inch aftermarket exhaust and a K&N intake already installed. All were done professionaly and appear to have been done well. I haven't had to tow yet so I've left the tuner on level 1, which is stock.

My past two tanks I've been averaging only about 10-11 MPG. Any reason for this? I've not been idling (too much), I've made sure my tires are properly inflated, air filter is clean.

Should I have the injectors checked? Is there a was (link maybe?) to check them myself?

I'm running winter mix (Colorado) and have been getting 15.5mpg around town with the grey CPS, and 13.3mpg with the black CPS. Not sure what the difference is.
