Now it has a reset function on the instant mpg screen. Now I did reset it at the start of my trip. I did have the power when I needed to pass anyone. Also It did pull very nice felt no drag. I do have a bed cover to.

The motor also gets very, very hot! No need for the defrost or cabin heat!
Over all still like the truck!
Takes a fixed amount of fuel to pull a given load. Only real gain you have with more powerfull engine is less stress to maintain speed and get up to speed. I have a four cyl. Ranger that can get down to 13MPG when I have towed a scissor lift at 60mph.
