I switch over at 1/4 tank and generally at 250-275 in town driving. We will see what happens when that big brown truck comes tomorrow or the next day. The best I have gotten in town was 22.8, I average 18.5-19.5 most of the time. If my OD is acting up as it has been lately again then I am down to around 15 in town. My best on the highway was 22 and I was driving 75-85 across TX, with an 800 lb. jet ski in the back. Towing boats up to Vegas I get 16, towing the camper up the mountain and get 17. Best advice I can give on getting good mpg's is stay out of boost and stay under 2K rpms. Take off easy at stop lights or signs and let out of it alot sooner when your coming to one. Just doing that you will see an improvemont in mpg's.
