Wahoo Breaking in my chevy 2500

Today I filled up ($100) and we took a 140 mile round trip drive. Mostly country roads and some freeway. Kept the speed between 45-59 (as much as possible) except for 4 miles of gravel 20MPH road.

I finally hit 19.9MPG. I have 13800 miles on the 2007 classic 2500 D/A.
The best prior was 19.1 once. Using the DIC (which is very accurate), I saw 19.4, and continued to watch it increase while driving bock home. Yes I had the egg between my foot and the pedal, and did try to get the best possible mileage.

Now I know with this mileage, its not broken in yet, but its on is way in the right direction. Maybe it helped that we put about 7,000 miles of towing the Montana on it during this period.

Any way I just had to tell someone.
