Essentially the same as mine but he doesn't have the Edge. Going up the steep grades in the Ozarks I was pulling away on him. I didn't notice any big mileage improvement, maybe a half gallon, but I did not see a drop either. I have put on larger wheels and tires since making the trip last year. So it may have helped my mileage from dropping with the larger set up I have now? It was also handy to be able to watch the transmission temps and other stuff i wanted to keep an eye on.

I just made a run through the Ozarks and was also monitoring the temps on the tranny with my Scan Guage. Temperature of the fluid in the hills ran as high as 212. (I have a Factory tow package) On flat towing temps were around 200. Do you recall what your tranny temps were?
