I have got 24 at 65MPH in my RCSB and thats here in the high county of Colorado. I will try it at 55 and see what comes of it. When I find it convenient to try it at 55MPH I will let you know ether way.

ivaskaj, I hope things pick up for you. I know this economy is hurting a lot of people right now. I'm just not sure I agree with your plan of attack on "saving" money. I would get rid of the unneeded (new truck) and stick with the needed (food, shelter).

Most boat tanks I've had are aluminum, others were plastic. Only glass tank I've ever had was in a 60's jet boat. If you have a steel tank that can be removed, I'd recommend using Eastwoods tank restoration kit. I've used it in a couple classic cars and it does a good job of sealing off the steel and preventing rust.
While the humidity is higher in FL, condensation is just as big a problem for stored vehicles in places like MN because of the temperature swings.
But if you want to start having real problems, keep using Stabil. The only issues I've ever had gumming up motors were when I put that stuff in the tank. Smokes like a pig and that stuff really gunks up the carbs.

IVASK.thank you for posting, when I got mine with 3:21 gears I was CRUCIFIED for posting my MPG's, and I didnt even tell the better ones, I did mine hand calculated, and @55 when the signs state it here on some roads, I could get over 20...but a lot didnt want to hear that, it was (IMPOSSIBLE), and the funny thing is i only posted 21.8 MPG, so I pulled the posts. great numbers

You know what I like about the use of ethanol in Gas? e85 has some serious octane numbers, but besides that the of corn, thus the higher corn prices has driven the use of HFCS out of drinks and other sweetened items, and been replace with REAL SUGAR. I welcome our higher corn prices if it keeps actual sugar in use over the corn substitutes.
I still get 19MPH city/highway mix on e10 in my 4x4. If the use of Ethanol keeps the fuel prices lower, you're net zero and supporting corn growers. I'd call that a win win.

This morning I had mine in 4x4 high because we have snow here. At an average of 25MPH in all city traffic (lots of lights) my EVIC read a best of 17.8MPG. I did not confirm it by hand, too cold to be filling up so often yet.

Unlike most people, I am in no hurry to move out and live on my own. I still live at home.
