Filled the gas tank up to full. Drove the truck 32 miles. Filled it up to overflowing. It used 1.3 gal. I got 24 miles per gal. No head wind, or tail wind. I got 19 MPG before I put the new EGR valve on the truck. A speed radar sign on the road said I was going 65 miles per hour. My speedometer said I was going 67 miles per hour. My rear tire size is 255/70R15. I figure I am getting about 22 to 23 miles per gallon. The engine is a 305 with TBI, and overdrive trans. What do you think?
