I had something strange happen this week that I can't figure out. I normally buy my fuel at TA, and I've noticed my fuel mileage going down the last three weeks, with no changes in driving or conditions. I could never get above 6.5 mpg with 45,000#, and then it went to 5.75 mpg.
I bought a load of fuel in Del Rio, Tx at a Town and Country, and my fuel mileage increased over 1 mpg, and the truck ran better, especially at higher speeds, and seemed to have more power.
I actually got 8.0 deadheading empty at 75mpg, where before the best I could get was 6.5. Under light load I was averaging 7.0 on hills with a headwind, and that had never happened before.
I'm really confused now as to what is going on?
Any ideas?
