Wife kills me each time I take it out now. $2.21/g here in NJ.
Ha, we have you beat here in Wisconsin. Right now we are about $2.35 a gallon and about a month ago we were close to $2.50!

Just drove home to Little Rock from PA the other day. I was at 16.4 when I arrived back home. The trip is right around 1200 miles on the highway. Had the cruise set on about 74 mph the second half, nd abour 68 mph down through PA, MD, WV, and VA to Tennessee, where they actually have realistic speed limits. Only thing that might influence the gas mileage is an Exstang Black Max bed cover.

I love this truck. I was surprised at my mileage, I was expecting much worse. I honestly wasn't getting much worse mileage for the money than I was in my VR6 Jetta on the way up!

First tank of gas and the puter tells me im getting 12.7 thats a mix of city and highway driving bout 50/50 never going over 70 mph looking for atleast 14.5 although my dakota never got much more then 16 with a v6 so not to bad.
