RE: P!$$ poor fuel economy
When we first went to Winter fuel and the Oct, Nov & Dec temps did not get below 10 above zero I was getting about 17.49 mpg combo driving. Now that it has gotten in the -10 to -20 below zero range I dropped to around 14 mpg. So you can see the colder it gets the worse your mpg can be[:@] BTW, I have a winter front on my truck to help it warm up faster.

Do you think the quicker warm ups help with your fuel economy?
Where did you get your grille cover?

RE: P!$$ poor fuel economy
I know my mileage started off at about 12.4 when the truck was a virgin. Now with 8,000 miles I can get 18.4, running empty if I keep the RPMs below 1950 on the highway. I have a feeling I will be able to get up to 19-20 once the motor fully breaks in. I should note I did get a reflash (to fix the battery temp sense problem) at 5K miles.
