Did you recalibrate your speedo/odo after the new wheels?
Those would be good numbers for a diesel, they would be record setting on the V10. I have a Duramax crew cab that gets those numbers and my route trucks (two 4.3's, one 5.3) struggle to get 13 in town and both trucks have empty beds/ no weight. All of my trucks are factory stock.

I have a '04 Excursion w/ V-10. Crossover exhaust tube was downsized at the "y" to a very restrictive diameter. Paid local muffler shop $80 to cut out & put in new Y same diameter as everything else. Noticable torque difference on hills.
Just ran from Mich to Fla over Thanksgiving. Overhead computer said 12.6 mpg avg. But if speedo read 75, my new Garmin GPS read 71, 80 on speedo was really 76 on GPS. I run stock 265 tires.
So might this also affect odometer and over (or Under?) estimate milage?
I've towed a 30' camper thru Rockies and my 35' Formula down to LOTO.
