Is that from the computer or hand calculated? if from the computer has your truck been corrected for the 37" tires? if hand calculated then it does seem low, I usually get between 15 and 17 around town street & hiway

I just got back from a trip to KY and I was averaging 16mpg towing an empty boat trailer with Van Aaken. Next fuel fill I disconnected box and went stock and I gained 2mpg to 18.2mpg traveling average at 72.5mph in cruise.
All my calculations are manual, I don't even read the computer.
On the way back I had a truck camper installed and was doing 14mpg stock and 11.9mpg with Van Aaken, then in Milwaukee I picked up a 18ft runabout boat and continued to do 14mpg without box at 67.5 mph average.
I think I will put my box on Ebay....
