Believe the hype!! Or don't.... I made this trip from Portland, OR. to Bakersfield, CA. with about 1200 lbs of payload between 3 adults, luggage, and a bunch of stuff we brought back from my girlfriends house! Love it or leave it. I was going 70 the whole way on cruise, and the driving which was split between my Audi driving cousin (who doesn't EVER drive a truck) and myself. He's fast on the gas and hard on the brake, and I am the opposite. So, even taking into account two different driving styles, I got the advertised gas mileage, all day long and couldn't be happier. My lifetime average is at 17.3 and I saw as good as 22.4 in some good flat spots with very little wind. Enjoy!
Good to see that someone else is getting great mileage with the Eboost. Mine will average over 22 from San Diego to San Francisco and back with about two dozen stops for business doing 65 with the cruise. At 80 the same trip is getting about 19.5. I can go from San Diego to LA and get 27 at 65 but you can't get impatient and start passing at higher speeds. Set the cruise and leave it alone.

15mpg all day 22 freeway
I can get 38mpg @ 65mph all I have to do is get about 2 car lengths or less
behind a tour bus or a big rig
The bus does the best
12 150 Eco 2x4 3.15
