hahaha! yeah dude, im in san diego where the most expensive gas in the US is and where theres the most hills. i HATE IT!!! man, my mpg will go up like to 21++ doing freeway. then when i hit city, it drops dramatically to 13-15. and that getting off of the freeway at every exit i take. i only get off at the same exits all the time. lol. and if san diego wasnt hilly, i wouldnt complain about my mpg. my mpg would be over 14 for sure. i go up hill to my house after getting off the freeway kinda. its like, i get off the freeway, drive 1 mile on a straight road and keep my mpg up to my freeway mpg. then i turn left to go up hill. once i get to the stop sign before the hill starts, my mpg is still good. then 3/4 up the hill (my house), my mpg drops so bad!!! jkbngskebhgkhb!!![:@] pisses me off that i have to type like that!!!!! lol. what about you? i take it youre in jersey? whats it like with hills there?

EDIT: when i said i HATE IT!!! i dont hate san diego. i LOVE san diego. i just hate the hills and gas prices. thats all. but the hills do have some spectacular views!!!

we have our share of hills, but they are more of rolling hills...There a few steep gradients here in Jersey, but nothing like S.D. with the hills...Once you get into NY you start to climb in elevation, but most roads really are not as steep at yours...lol Figured, highest gas prices where the cars burn the most fuel...HAHAH

I can't seem to get more then 16mpg on the highway (yeah, we call them highways out here, LOL) and about 12-14 city...Maybe its because of my massive tires? lol Putting on an intake today, hopefuly that lets her breathe even more than just the Gibson Super Truck Exhaust...Happy Hemi-ing!!!

Go with AMP Power Steps. One of the best investments I've made so far. Worth the expensive price. Cost me $1900 to have them installed.

$1900 for install all together with them right? totaling $1900.....not $1900 just for install hopefully. the power steps are the way to go, but if your on a budget go with the straight steps. i dont like the tubular ones that circle in, and im not a fan of the single steps. go for the straight step

i love those if you cant afford the power steps from amp

Hey JK,

Flatrock you say? Therewere 3 HUGE ten's taken their this year... Highpoint, just around the block is good too, but the bears were a nusance...UNBELIEVEABLE! I have 43 acres backing up to FarmSteas Golf and Country Club. Its a sanctuary...LOL I got a 18' ten (not too bad) and an 19' 8. One with the muzzleloader, and one during the rut with the Bow...Nothing better than bow hunting. I got the new Mathews Drenaline, this season, SWEEET! But nothing beats the rush after you shoot a deer with the muzzleloader, smoke clears, and their he is, laying down... But, I'm not a trophy hunter. A doe is a trophy as well. I have venison about3-4 times a week...My girl doesn't even know it...i'm CRUEL!!!! LOL Anyway, this all could be pointless as you could be going to Flatbrook to pheasant too...If so, sorry for rambling on...haha
