They are testing in Arizona, it is all flat and probably downhill too.

My uncle in Washington State, lives in Pullman, and with his 03 LB7 with an Edge Juice with attitude, 4 inch magnaflow turbo back exhaust and a K and N Full intake kit, has gotten numerous times 28 to 31 mpg in that area, it is all flat where he is. It is a CC LB, and he has a lot of weight in the truck at all times, and has a Grandpa raised rear Leer camper top to boot.

So in the ultimate situation, it is possible, but not anywhere near probable in real world city/highway mix. Just cant happen, and when it does, it will have Duramax on the top of the engine that does it.

Lets see, that would be downhill, with a tailwind, drafting behind a semi, aftermarket propane system set on 75%....


Those numbers are pure dreamland material.

It's not believable enough for me to think it actually can get that many miles per gallon. The truck is actually heavier than our dmax is, no way in hell it can get better mpg than the LML does.

Lol, yeah, you can get some crazy good mileage in Arizona on the right day. Heck, I've gotten 20+ MPG at 80 MPH around the Phoenix area, from a truck that normally averages 16.1 MPG. Of course, it was either flat or downhill, with a slight tailwind, but I'll bet Ford's tests were similar.

When are people gonna learn the numbers on the dash arent real, hell I can make my lbz readout 99mpgs if I want. What a joke.

Yeah, getting the dash numbers to be accurate is a chore. Despite my best efforts, mine is always 5-10% optimistic. I guess with an LBZ you can't do anything about it.

The numbers they reported in the other thread were much more believable. Still a hair lower than what I get, but throw a DPF on my truck and I'd probably be right there with them.

Not to call bs, but :bsbag: lol

It may not be mountain after mountain here, but most drives here are through rolling hills that are at least a 300 ft elevation change each. Have you ever even been on the Palouse? Heck, yesterday on the road I saw 700ft elevation all the way to 3300ft, all within 45 min from my place. Even with 245s, 4 inch, a tune, and driving like an old man the best I could get was 23. I did get 27 once but that was all at 45 mph. Your uncle is either pulling your leg or can't divide :D

I agree with you on the Ford's numbers though, in an ideal situation, it may be possible, though I believe the numbers in the article may be a little skewed.
