I got to say this, either my truck is just a gas PIG or people are blowing
smoke out of there ass. I get at most 14MPG from mine on the HWY on cruise.
Now I do have a good bit of stuff done to it, and it is running rich at WOT,
but I can't see how a 5.9 can get better mileage than my 5.2... I usually
run 80 - 85 on the HWY. 93 Octane.
