Default truck/mpg update...

Well, I may be over my RFS (right foot syndrom) as I filled up on sunday to get a good read on mileage thru the week.

I hand calculated the mileage at....

17?... noooo









16?... noooo but getting warmer










15?....noooo still getting warmer











14?....noooo getting hot










13?....OUCH!

oh yeah 13.0 miilles perr galllon but ooodoggie did I have fun getting it. did some runs on 3/5 to test out the tranny... zero slippage! did alot of driving around on 2/3 for the hell of it, basiclly to enjoy my mods for a bit... good thing I found diesel at $2.69/gallon, elsewhere its $2.79~2.99/gal. it's easier mentally to justify

it is nice to know though that I can get 16~17 hiway when I need it. After filling up and keeping my foot out of it, we drove down to Stockton to watch the Stockton Thunder beat the Fresno Falcons in a pre-season game and I managed to squeeze some good mileage so far, (up to 110 since filling up yesterday... damn thats alot already)
