That's great! How did you calculate it? Do you keep a log? Do you use fuel additive?

I Recently bought a 04 6.0L c/c and I am impressed. I had a 02 F250 PSD and I fell in love with the diesel. I just bought mine 3 weeks ago. I clocked 31 MPG. I bought it in Kingsport, Tn and traveled to Norfolk, Va!! I was doing 73 the whole way back!!
