Default Wow!!!

I will be 100% honest....after reading about people getting over 20 mpg with their truck, I thought it was complete and utter BS....but I have to admit, I am now in that club. I had no idea that it was possible but.....I am running 130 miles a day like I said and have been checking my mileage the last few weeks.....here are some of my averages, most with 2-300 miles between fill ups.....20.95, 19.818, 19.02, 19.41, 20.34, 20.41, 20.82 (calculated manually of course cuz I dont have the mpg readout on my truck).....I couldnt believe it and had to tell someone about cuz I am so darn happy!!! I might drop the grill guard I got on and see how that helps....

That's good mileage, I'm guessing it's all/mostly highway at 55 mph or faster.

Default fuel tank breakdown

can anyone else confirm this for the fuel tank size on the 1500.

1) 26 gallon tank

2) 5.5-6 gallons per quarter tank.

3) 3 gallons reserve after the fuel light comes on.
