I have no idea why I am getting better mileage but I am not complaining. The trip mileage includes a run in with a FX4 this morning. I drive 50 miles on state roads (60mph) and 12 miles on the highway (70mph) one way to work. There are 3 towns with 2-5 lights each on the commute so I have some stop and go but not much.

I don't find that I drive that aggressively but I can't get a lower average than 17 L/100 (~13 mpg).

I currently get 18-19 L/100 km...

I see you pulled a boat double check the owners manual don't think you need it unless your going up and down hills and you can take it in and out on the go. If it is shifting a lot put it on.

Tow haul mode is defiantly the way to go. Cooler tranny, does not keep shifting and the compression braking are all big pluses.
