I was getting great fuel mileage, 19.2mpg (empty), but it would vary every so often. I now consistantly get 19.2mpg empty, and 14.1mpg pulling 16k GCW. The other thing I found effects fuel mileage is resetting the puter every couple months. Just disconnect both battery's over night. No, pulling fuse #15 does not have the same effect. T_Bone
