    The ECM tune and EGR was my biggest saver on fuel mileage .

    i also boosted my torque up to 1850

    No offense but I see no way your going to get that mpg. No matter what type of black magic you do to your equipment. Even new Cascadia evo don't get that great of numbers. Especially bobtailing

    Horse #### dude I'll give you my ECM report why would I make that up we wasn't sitting at the urnial seeing who pisses the bigger stream .. That's my real numbers .. I drive slower than most but not all ( prime )

    but it I have nothing to gain to tell you my numbers are not what they are

    That's why I stated I would not take a new truck if it was offered to me .. I've had this thing peaked and tuned over the last few years .. It's basically a Pre emission Detroit now . But still a 14.0 L I just had allot of mods done to it .

    But my numbers are correct I assure you

    My truck will hit 13.8 @ 55 mpg bobtail . Now jack it up to 65 and it will drop to just around 9.0 or even slightly below .

    Its all in your boost and power curve of the engine

    Actually . I drive 2015 Evo's all the time , will hit better than those numbers bobtail and he's definitely in range with a modified" pre EGR Detroit ..." Though of course he can just post the data. As proof positive . I believe it though . I don't think the torque curve is the most efficient on new Evo's at 55 and 1200 , more like 65 and 1400 ...

    I'll pop a few pictures tomorrow ..

    Ill be loaded , empty and bob tail all 3 tomorrow . I'll get a few shots off both my Scan Gauge and the truck computer . And my next DOT I'll get a ECM reading and post it . May blow your mind what a Modified Detroit will do when driven correctly and shifted progressively and foot kept out of it

    I heard of a EVO getting in the mid 14 to low 15 bobtail

    My torque is set at 1600 @ 12 and 1850 @ 1300-1600 or might be to 1800 not sure but I know the torque may be off a little on the rpm

    I don't ever bobtail them but I can safely say I've hit 16 and better in the International 6x4's , however , the Evo is a niiiiice ride , kind takes the cake over the Corn Binders, jmo
