No picture but when I filled up this morning, the display read 19.5mpg over 491.6 miles. Hand calc showed it to be 19.1 (I swear, the more I idle the farther off it is...)

It was pretty neat seeing DTE at 690 miles.

Lifetime avg reads 17.8 but reality is probably 17.3 or so (spreadsheet is at home).

Also the blend of fuel you get from the gas station changes with the seasons, warm air plus summer blend fuel is always better. I HATE winter!

This is also proof that "City" driving means something different between people, and nobody should feel like something is wrong when their truck is getting 12MPG city.

As for my mileage, I was happy with both my 2011 Eco and 2012 5.0L. Both average 17.0MPG on the dot. Both get/got 20+ on the hwy (when the Eco was actually running good before the condensation issue), and thats just great with me. I have a fairly heavy foot, but I don't speed too much, and I coast to a stop when I can. For the most part though, I leave my Productivity Screen on the Offroad App and just enjoy the truck.

You have to convert your truck over to the system, and at that rate, you'll only see tank-fill savings. The cost of the conversion either makes you break even, or even slightly MORE expensive than regular gas.
