Gas Pump Etiquette

[Ruffdaddy]

I have bigger tires, too. Oddly enough, the speedo is dead accurate. They park one of those "Your Speed Is xx" boxes on the median by my house all the time, and I check it whenever I pass...

What is the speed limit by the box? Typically those are in slower areas...I would trust gps more.

Note what Al said about total mileage. These diesels aren't even broken in until 100,000+. Yours had pretty low miles didn't it?

89k when I bought it a year ago. 102k and some change now.

45, but I've passed it going 35, 70, and everywhere in between. It's always dead on to the mph.

I'm seeing 23 mpg on my 2011 without a programmer, unloaded of course.

you drive a ford ?

Out of 8 pumps there were 5 open and I chose this one just because of DFWM. Ironically there was an F350 at one of the other pumps.

I have a Bully Dog tuner on mine. Two things help the mileage, a tuner and some mileage on the engine. My truck originally only got 15 mpg from the factory, the Bullydog tuner on the performance setting bumped it to about 17.5 mpg. As it has aged it has slowly crept up. It will get over 20 on the highway now and gets the 19.5 mpg combined. I have hand calculated it for years and the overhead console is fairly accurate on mine but I have increased tire size, I imagine with the factory tires it would be pretty far off.

I need to get with Forrest and get a bully dog. I've been running the quadzilla race box, but I've heard good things about the bd stuff and want to try something different. Do you still have the cat/muffler?

Mine averages around 18mpg, but I'm bad about driving 80mph or so...it's much better around 60mph. Oddly enough, it doesn't change very much when I'm hauling and/or towing...

What you can't see in the picture is a diesel driver sitting across the street crying because you're blocking a pump.

I just noticed this while I was in Florida last week but in Florida their green pumps are for gasoline and usually have yellow for diesel. I yelled at my dad for reaching for the green hose.. LOL
