Yea 3mpg difference....doesnt sound like alot but thats a 30% increase for me.

MJ - I was ALWAYS told the same.....thats why I had to ask

I have a 2005 Chevy 2500HD and the boat with my gear comes in right under 4000#(truck excluded)........I also hate that when OD is on with cruise control and I hit an overpass, the SOB acts like it wants to redline to get up it and just guzzles gas.....

I will try w/o the OD on this next trip and see how it goes. At 1200mi roundtrip I need all the help I can get!!! Especially when my normal fuel econ with no load is 11.3mpg!!!! Ol girl is tough but she aint a cheap date by any means......
