Default First full tank through the truck

Like the title says, finished my first full tank through the truck. Lot's of city driving (drop kids at school, drive to the store, run errands, all less than a mile), idling while fixing things, checking tranny fluid with some highway smattered in, 13.5 MPG.

All in all I am fairly pleased. I get to check hwy MPG tomorrow on a 150 mile trip.

I hope mine is that good but I don't think it will be.

I am at a little less then 1/4 a tank and I have gone 220 miles. I am going to fill it up tomorrow.

I can tell I have an exhaust leak though.

I had a 97 360 auto reg cab SB and got around 18-20 HWY 15-16 around town...I now have a 94 standard 318 reg cab SB and get around 15 everywhere in and out of 4X4. My 2001 Nissan supercharged 2WD on ebay right now is only getting 15-20 used everywhere.
Might as well use the V8 4x4 that is getting the same MPG...
