Default driving for MPG ...most of the time

Quick 2 day road trip this week,running 60-70mpg mostly,down the hwy and over the mountain pass and back.Ran maybe 45miles of city driving and only a few WOT giddy up passes.Not an unltimate fuel mileage challenge,but over all round trip not bad for a boosted truck...pretty good tune I say




Here at home 3500 ft,here is an idea of the git up and go...or the **** n git vid.
