Not looking to start an oil war-
When I switched to synthetic oil, my mpg went up about .6 unloaded (15.8 mpg avg) and up .9 towing (12.7 mpg) 7,400 lb boat. Currently at 39,268 miles.
Roadtrips are generally 17.4-17.6 mpg going 80-85 mph. This is operating above 4,200 ft elevation as that is the water level of the Great Salt Lake. Best was 20.2 mpg on a 900 mile trip in 106-111 degree heat. This truck has exceeded my expectations in every category: Especially when I run against my buddy with the 04 Dodge 600 Cummins...
It exceeds his expectations too
