The best thing you can do to improve your mileage is slow down. Going that fast in a truck is really irresponsible, especially considering that you can't hear anything either.

Atleast it wasn't going 85-90 with 10k. Both aren't good, but that just amazes me about hauling that much going that fast. I mean, I could do that, but that doesn't mean I should or that I am.

That stretch of highway that is the normal speed in the left lane. I have to change into the middle lane every few miles to let somebody going faster pass me. I only run like that when I am in a crunch for time, which has not happend in months.
That has nothing to do with the topic of this thread either.

We try 55, 60, 65, 70 mph they got less mpg more like 13 mpg. 80-90 mph you get 15 mpg. We was cruise on highway to get parts that is 100 miles away.
Why we have wrong gear ratio on F250 now. It have oversize tire with low gear which cause best mpg at higher speed than low speed.
Need save $500 to get smaller tires to change gear ratio.
