I filled up on Sunday, but I'm almost ready to refill. I've driven over 220 miles this week already. I'm not going to stop driving my truck because of it. I might buy a motorcycle this summer though. I'm looking at a Suzuki Boulevard. Beautiful bike.[sm=drooldude.gif][sm=drlove.gif]

Yeah, but you have a V6, not that there's a whole lot of difference between the two with a qc.

How's it going Dan?

I'll second that 2coff. My father drives a 2003 Ranger 4x4 4.0L V6, and although the power is really great, it definately gets less gas mileage then the dakotas V8. However, it spanks the dakota's V6 as far as performance goes.
