Even with a plow hangin' off the front of your truck, you should be able to do better than that. Unless, you are a 'two position driver'...... none at all, or WOT.

Well I do have some issues right now. Have a permanent check engine light. O2 sensors are brand new and its still throwing codes for low heater circuit... think I got some messed up wiring. Gonna be pulling the engine harness in the spring to fix the issue.

Also gotta pull the intake and fix my rear gasket. Used an rtv bead instead of the rubber end gaskets. Rtv blew out from crank case pressure.

Best one so far that I've been using is called GasTracker.

How accurate are they is the question? Do you just input mileage and gallon figures, or does it track miles driven through gps?

You adjust how much city/highway you drive. Then put in how many miles since your last fill up. Then the price per gallon and how many gallons you put into it.

I'm using Gas Log on my iPhone... there's a heap of them... some just do MPG, others track oil changes and all sorts of other stuff.
