I'm 60 yrs old my driving habits are the same before and after demandate. I've ran it a couple months now thinking maybe it was just me. My fuel avarage before 6.8 to 8.2, now it 4.8 to 6.6 (flatbed) bobtailing went from 10.2 to 8.8 mpgs
(1)My max boost is 38-39 lbs
(2)my highest temp egt 9.5 (I70 west of Denver)
(3)the truck has vibration from 1300-1500 rpms when building boost and allways has.

Demandate truck temps runs tons cooler and has better power. Is it possible the better power is costing me fuel mileage ?

Anything more than about 32-33 lbs of boost will suck fuel mileage away from that model engine in a hurry. @ 600hp, maybe 34 psi is the upper end on it. - 38+ and no more egr gas IS OVER-BOOSTING and will lead to fuel mileage loss + engine damage.

If you don't want to say publicly who de-mandated it, then PM me with the info and some detail so I can ask them about it if it was someone from this forum.
