Fuelly e-torque MPG - first numbers posted

Not to get too philosophical but i wonder if there is a certain level of driver self selection here between the eTorque and non-eTorque numbers? Meaning the folks that buy eTorque might be more econo-conscious so they would tend to drive very eco-friendly (slow acceleration, smoother on the pedal) whereas the non-etorque drivers don't give a sh*t and its pedal to the metal baby!

:LOL:

I really don’t give a $hit and drive it as needed... :D
Granted we all like good MPG, but if that was my main concern, I wouldn’t have purchased a 5000+ lbs truck w/ a V8...

I'll be driving mine like I drive my trucks. Just accelerate with traffic and not prove to myself how slow it is. I've got some other heaps that I might try to shorten rear tire life with.
 
Interesting. How was that boost tracked? If it's anything but hand calculated using corrected odometer readings, it's most likely inaccurate (...and forget about fuel LOM's :) ). And when was the mpg boost realized (modern engines are basically broken in after the first tank so I am curious)? Also noted comment about use of fuels having different energy content, which can cause a significant affect on mpg.

Hand calculated and you answered your own question about fuel. But I still use the same fuel, so that variable is invalid.
There are results other than your experiences. I’m sharing mine.
