RE: MPG
Last week I changed my plugs and went with a set of platinums. VIA the overhead beforeI was averaging 12.3 MPG. Today was the first real long trip I took since, about 125 miles. The overhead said I averaged 16.8 MPG. But that was also with the cruise control set @ 65 and the tail gate down. The best mileage I have gotten was 300 miles froma full tank. And that was including traveling the Kangamangas Highway in N.H up one side of the white mountains and down the other side. Lets just say that on the way down, gear selector was in (N)

RE: MPG
My overhead always reads 17.5 - 18.5, but the best I have got in the five months I have had my truck is 16.4. I always get in the 15's, I drive easy.
