Another reason why Procharger was the right choice for me...

Finally getting the truck dialed in and couldn't be happier ! It's so more responsive now that the tires aren't skipping and bouncing for the first 3 gears and because it's not a roots blower it's able to cruise on highway with allot of vacuum , getting ridiculous gas mileage ( look at boost gauge in pod on dash in pic )....During a recent road trip, my 4 door truck with heavy 22" wheels averaged 25.2 mpg (look at bar graph, average of 30+ minutes of driving 75mph ) and with only 2 clicks on the shifter, the truck gets the blower building boost with ease and pulls a c5 ZO6 making him wish he didn't have his wife with him !!! Just thought I'd share as it really impressed me ")

Have you gotten enough mileage for an average on the MPG?

this morning for fun i got my 2012 f250. 6.2 on the freeway hit reset on the mpg and drove 10 miles , when i exited the freeway i was averaging 19.2

my 2012 f150 6.2 always does a little better than the 250.

i dont consider that highway mpg. to me highway mpg is going on a trip 250 to 300 miles away hitting reset at the house and seeing what i get when i pull into the hotel. i think we can al agree that mpg numbers can be manipulated and i honestly dont think anyone buying a blower has mpg as a top priority. i dont believe for one second that a blower can increase mpg, sell crazy somewhere else, all full here.

Even if there was a little 'Hypermiling" going on, it still shows that the vehicle is running efficiently. I think that was the point. I usually get around 15.5 MPG on average and 13-14 with a lot of around town stuff. I use a combination of the information Center, a DashHawk and an iPhone app called RoadTrip to make sure I'm not fooling myself. I have a 30 gal. tank. Here is a picture of Miles to empty.
