The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Default Finding the sweet spot for mileage

These are some graphs I made from compiling the numbers from about 4 or 5 data logs I've taken over the last few days. All of the PID's I used can be viewed on the gryphon at any time.

By looking at the graphs it looks like my truck get the best mileage when the RPMs are between 1800 and 2200 while the load is below 50%. I also picked to record MPH so I could figure out what cruising speeds are best. I was kinda suprised because I figured that the upper 60s would be the best. Oh well, this truck is just full of suprises.

I recommend that anyone with a program like MS Excel does this because if you know what conditions get you the best mileage then you can take most of the guessing out of saving gas.
