My last three tanks I'm sitting at: 16.68mpg, 16.55mpg, & 15.98 MPG

Not bad for a leveled truck with 35s

The DIC indicates 17.4 mpg for the last 4500 miles. I'm not totally unhappy with that.

I went to Argonia Kansas over the labor Day holiday from Ohio.

30-40mph winds hit my taller enclosed trailer when I turned south on I35, and I was getting 6.2mpg

On the way back when I hit I70 heading east, 20-25 mph winds had shifted and I got only 8.5mph at 60-65.

Normally I get the following with the tall enclosed trailer.

I have a 2008 Silverado with 5.3L,4sp, 3.73 gear.

I get 15.5-16.5 mixed mileage. If I put my enclosed 12x7 single axle trailer empty or full makes no difference and has the same tong weight.

It drops to 9.5-10.5 at 65-70, 11-12 at 55mph.

Winds are brutal, makes the trip twice as long and twice as rough on your wallet. :lol:
