If the LOM is optimistic and it's showing me 13 MPG that is not a good thing. I use Stanadyne lubricity formula on every fill up and try to get fuel from places that go through a lot of it. I really don't know where to go from here, Ill be ripping every piece of EPA bull**** off the truck when the warranty is gone and I know that will help but it would be nice to know why I'm getting such low numbers.

Quick Google search will tell you how to get in, IIRC (it's been a couple years) you hold the ok button on the steering wheel and turn the ignition to acc. The menu should pop up and you can change the AFE setting, stock should be around 1000, you can add or subtract to dial it in.

First tank was 700 DTE. Would have gotten it too if I wasn't afraid to run it down to zero (I have since learned, that means you have six gallons left, on the 48 gallon tank). Haven't gotten anything above 600 DTE from a fill up now. But... that first tank was from the Dealer in Denver, CO, headed east, so it was all, or mostly, slightly down hill, and all highway.
