if the OD transmission works as good in the trucks as it does in my ram charger it should pay for itself in no time. the ram charger with its overdrive has been getting me a solid 14mpg as apposed to my 81 which is averaging 10mpg. i figure i am saving close to $150/month. only have to fill up 2 times a month with the ram charger. had to fill up every week with the 81.
(sorry, didn't see the multi-post quote function soon enough)

good luck with getting those numbers. i think i might be hard to get those numbers now aday. lots of things have changed including the gas. apparently using the gas with 10% ethanol can make you get worse gas mileage than gas without the ethanol.
don't worry about the multi quote. i never use it.

i think pretty much everywhere the basic 87 octane gas has ethanol. i know in Ontario it seem the only gas that is ethanol free is the 91 octane stuff which is all that i put in my tanks. i have not seen any better mileage with it but i have never had a problem with my truck not starting. it actually starts almost too easy.
