What is the lowest mpg you have seen in your trucks, pulling and or empty. Don't repile with you need a fix, different tuner. Just the lowest mileage. See if any has got lower than me! Pulling I've seen 3.2 mpg gross weight 30,000, empty 11mpg.
I don't care about your best mileage.

DAMN 3.2mpg?? :jawdrop:

The worst I have ever seen was about 10.5 mpg but was only pulling a 11k lb parachute (26ft enclosed trailer) and I very rarely ever tow. 3.2mpg is roughly what my grandpa's 86 one ton dually got with a 454 V8 towing that much weight.

It was a fun trip, 5th wheel, strong wind and never got passed by others pulling.

If not, his MPG calculation is off!

I know. Unless he has a larger fuel tank, he would have been lucky to get 100 miles to the tank. LOL LOL that is crazy.

I had a 91 gallon tank in the bed that gravity feeds into the stock tank that couldn't keep up, I had to stop 2 times to fill the stock in 500 miles. Used around 140-150 gallons. It has a 3/8 feeding the stock tank, with a 1/4 ball valve.

WHAT!!!!! The worst I got was pulling 13K with my bowtie HD, 6.0l gas, and that was around 6-7. Worst trip ever.
