I just filled up at lunch time, been riding around for 2 days with the "low
fuel" light on.
Put 18.2 Gals. in her, had driven 271 miles.... so that's 14.89 mpg. I drive
the truck very hard, wide open throttle very frequently, nailing second and
third gear always, 22 miles round trip to work 75-80 on the interstate.
Best mph to date is 22 mpg on a road trip, cruise set on 75.
I don't think that is so bad, especially with 3.92 gears and being very hard
on the gas pedal.
