Frankly, the posts "I got 30MPG on a 40 mile trip" (example) is kind of getting old, or those screen shots showing "35 instant mpg", or even a "35mpg average".

Then stop reading them?
I don't abide by the "cancel culture" mentality. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Drive your truck about 300 miles, THEN post your EVIC showing the miles driven, time, and the MPG over that time period, and THEN, and only then, will you have a realistic overview of your "average MPG". I guarantee its not going to be anywhere near what you brag about.

I'm not posting about average mileage. Seems a lot of people don't get that. I don't care about averages. I want to know what mileage my truck is getting in the city and on the highway, not sitting in the grocery store parking lot with the A/C on waiting for my wife to grab some bread. I already know that's 0 mpg so need to average that.

My AAD works fine, and I'm keeping it enabled to help with my mileage, thank you.

Getting old? It's been old.

Even an EVIC of 200 miles or so

I really did like Dewey's picture
38.5 mpg on a 35 mile trip is impressive (I know his post is in satire)

If you start at the top of a mountain and go down for like 100 miles you’ll come out looking pretty snazzy.

I drive between Detroit, and northern Michigan at least 2 trips a month. South, I get 2 MPG better than north.

so, no bumper or AAD ? ha. I think I'm going to end up going through insurance anyway since my GF said that my lights look like they are all pointing in different directions. ha. might as well have them find any and all issues. glad this post was used for something, even if it was the age ol' MPG debate . lol

I’d just chunk the AAD. It doesn’t really do anything.

Point of correction kind sir:

The AAD does do something - it lowers your payload.
