Okay, after 4 tanks, Hand calculated mpg with correction for tire size using gps on my truck is 14.2mpg average with about 50/50 city/highway driving. DIC put it at 14.9 mpg. I run my six gun on level 3. Before I was always between 14-15.5 mpg. I don't think I ever broke 16mpg. I have not done enough towing to see what that is going to be like. I am going to try and bump pressure up to 80lbs for 2 tanks to see if it makes a difference. Just out of curiosity really... Oh yeah, tires look brand new still with over 1k on them. I get many comments on them:D
So yes I lost a little fuel efficiency, but not bad at all. So so far absolutely no drawbacks to this modification! I will be going to Hatfield Mccoy in Nov with a 16ft trailer and a bunch of quads for a 400 mile trip. That will give me a better measure of towing mpg.
