overdrive on in the city ?
It might seem like a kinda dumb question, I just have no idea. I've never really done lots of city driving in my truck. But now that i've changed jobs I no longer have a company vehicle. I noticed this week that i went through the first 1/4 of my tank in only like 50 km (around 35 miles I think) and I was even driving really nice, rpm's very rarely went over 2000 and never went over 2500. So anyway's i guess im just wondering if i should click the overdrive off or does it make a difference at all. If it doesnt why am i gettin such terrible mileage, I am due for an oil change but i wouldnt think it would make that huge of a difference especially considering i went with a synthetic last time and 95% of my miles on this change were highway. Anyways thanks for your suggestions guys.

yeah its pretty cold here right now. suppose to warm up in a few days maybe i'll do a full check. Oh i wasnt expecting to get good mileage at all. But it seems like im only gonna get 100km for my first half of the tank, and that is bad no matter what you drive. Its like im using 50 litre/100km. I'll do a filter and oil change here soon maybe ill go with a k&n and then put some fuel injection cleaner in and stuff hopefully that helps. Id like to get about 350km to a tank in the city. I dont think thats unresonable. Who knows though maybe this is one of those weird tanks and i'll get 200km outta the secound half. and if you wondering that since its cold if i've been leting my truck warm up alot, then no not really maybe for a minute or two on the really cold days.

according to a website its 34 gallons which converts into 128.7 liters. sounds about right anyway.
also put on 33" tires.
