Is this too good to be true? I know I adjusted for tire size, and gears. Also did a few bolt ons all at one time but 19 mpg?! I havnt driven much yet, just filled up today and this has been city driving.

Send it to the White House they'll use at as a prop to demonstrate how because of their regulations F150 fuel economy has been boosted by 5 mpg

Check your speedometer and odometer with GPS. Took some testing before I got my 33's dialed in.

Its the CS not CTS. But I love it so far. I would buy it just for all the gauges and data you can store on it. But it really changed the truck for the better. I have had it on a week and this is going to be the first full tank with it on the truck. Im excited to see what I get. I was getting 12-13 city and about 16-17 highway.

Agreed with the above, test your speed with a gps and your phone, all tires are different so you have to adjust for that and the 3% squish factor.
