along with the "30ft trailer weighs about 8k pulling it at 70mph getting 11 mpg"

i agree with Brian. but also what are you running that bullydog on?

maybe if you foot is quite heavy (as is mine) you would actually benefit from keeping that on a really low setting unless your doing highway cruising.

i found doing that worked the best when i only had my banks

also check out your air filter unless its one of those new fancy ones it may need a good cleaning

maybe check tire pressures, air filter for cleanliness, you have a new fuel filter, has this been going on for a while, maybe bad batch of fuel in the tank

i would jack it up and spin the tires, make sure nothing is dragging (brakes, bearings, ect)

Air filter is clean /Tires full. And I was driving it to see what it would get for MPG no hot footing. I know it should be getting atleast 16mpg

do you do a lot of stop and go driving....i know when i am in the portland area like i am now i only get about thirteen so dont feel too bad

Is your mileage hand calculated, or are you using the computer estimate?

O and I do get an EGR code for lack of flow.
