Jeeze Kevin, how do you drive ?
(how do you get such high MPGs ?)
I admit I drive my truck like I drive my motorcycle ("redline in every
gear, frequently"),
but the best mileage I get around town is 13.5-15.5 MPG. On long flat
"cruise control" road
trips (75 MPH), the best I could get was 17.5 . . .
Maybe my canopy is giving me a 2 MPG hit ?
(I read all the previously posted info . . . including the wind tunnel info
. . .)
I've just added the Bosch 4417s and Quick-D . . . . I hope to see
improvement . . .
Thanks,
Ole
