I would think it would jump to at least 14-15 range, but it was about 13.1 every time i checked... and with the odometer I dont know how accurate it is, but the speedo is about 3 mph fast at 75, so 4%, so should I add 4% to my mileage to get an accurate reading to test mpg's?
The speedo comes from the factory, about 2 mph fast on these trucks. So I would say its probably correct.
