Ahahha...you know your mpg is crap when you rave over 18mpg . If your truck is well maintained the only thing I can think of is your driving habits. I see so many hemi guys pulling away from me when i'm driving it's not even funny...even the guys with the QC's and mega cabs. I try to keep her around 2000rpms when accelerating so you know they're on it pretty good.

What's the point of all that engine if you don't lay into it a little bit every now and then? If I wanted good mileage I'd have bought a Prius.
