Hey, you're right, my '96 is a five lug, not sure why I thought it was 6.

Why are you guys getting up in arms over this?

I'm not lying about my milage, I calculate it by hand at every fill-up, I never do partial fill-ups.

My wife says I drive like an old granny.

And I get good milage, why be mean like this?

Edit: Hell, might as well add insult to injury here, I only use 85 octane in my truck, every 5th fillup I put in 87 or 89 depending on price difference, no ping or knock either.

highduke why did your *** vote yes???

I wanted to know if this was a true rep, I never calc'd my mpg when I towed my 20' pontoon because it was only a few miles to the lake but I doubt I even saw double digits when slowing down. Remember we still get 14.7:1 regardless of speed.

Highduke why do you always got to disagree, sure was nice when you had that waiting for approval stamped on ya LOL. Just messing with ya. Even though you voted yes, can you see getting that kind of mpg? I barely hit 15 with easy driving.

ok, just wanted to make sure, i mean, i do what i can to improve my fuel econ, i dont date fat chicks, thats gotta help the mpg.....
taking a fat chic home to meet mom will hurt mpg's....but just bending her over the tailgate has no effect on mpg's...so enjoy

unless its a tundra, keep hearing those tailgates don't hold up

I don't know where I heard this but think it was big black from rob and big, says let me put my gut on your back ( meaning he's gotta do that to hit it from behind) haha.

Highduke what moral high ground are you taking by not voting.

Dude, just because I drive better than everyone on this forum.....j/k

If you're truck was stock, you could get over 20, as soon as you put on non LRR tires, you lose 2-3 MPG at least. I got some new treads on my minivan that usually got 26, and they were cheap *** crap tire's and now I get 19 to 21 at best.
