Ouch.

I was getting 16MPG with a screwed O2 sensor ... EDIT: Fixed to Miles Per Gallon - not Miles Per Hour. D'oh!!!

Per Hour? Interesting.
Yea I know. But I only do maybe 10k a year on it and I have several much larger projects in the air. If I was commuting I'd focus on it first.

Yah, these trucks are heavy enough and are geared long legged enough that they suck in stop and go traffic.

I'd take that gas mileage, though; but then, most of my mileage is on the highway ( did 200 miles round trip yesterday, to/from Tyler TX.)
