thats highly impressive. Do you have a f250 or a 350? any weight in the bed? hand calculated im assuming?

That is awesome wish mine did that.

Rodslinger · Jun 16, 2011

My 450 gets 6-8. I would love 19! Heck even 14 would do. What all do you have done ?

Nice, my best on my dually was 16.52, but I can't drive real slow for long. Plus I think my right foot weigh's a few extra pounds...

I've noticed that as well. Especially with fuel the way it is I'm going alot slower now, rpm's low and not getting off the line quick

I hand calculated 12.23 towing my 5th wheel the other day, 18.67 has been my best unloaded mpg.

I need to learn how to hand calculate, whats the formula? is the lie-o-meter usually below what your actually getting or above?

Lie-O-Meter is usually high.

To hand calculate, take the miles you've driven and divide that by the gallons of fuel used.

I usually top off to the point where I see fuel in the neck before a long road trip. Reset the trip meter to 0. When I get where Im going I fill up to the top again. Divide the number of miles you drove by the number of gallons of fuel you just put in the tank and you have your hand calculated MPG.
