29.2 mpg
avg speed = 46 mpg. Cruising at or around PSL (mostly 55, bit of 65, slower in towns)
107 miles
2 adults + few hundred pounds of tools & luggage
Just cool enough I could keep the upper grill block on - intake air peaked around 110F

My previous best on this trip was only 25 mpg. Not sure if there was a nice tailwind or if the grill block & temps get the credit. Or maybe the stuff in the bed made it more aerodynamic.

Take that, Super Duty :)

Hi Nathan:

___I cannot wait to get behind the wheel of the new 11 Silverado HD someday but it will take some doing to take down an 11 Super Duty equipped with the Hyper-efficient 6.7L Power Stroke :p

RT drive to Chicago Suburbs and back from cold. Subtract 1 to 1.5 mpg for an actual.

___Congrats on the personal best and I can bet 30 will be in the cards by summer :D

___Good Luck

___Wayne
