The DAKSY's V6 averages 16 combined. I've gotten 20.6 on a trip to Syracuse
at 70 -75, tho.
She'd get better if I could keep my foot out of it, but...Jeez...I sure do
like the sound of the Quick D when she's responding to the foot
pressure...ALMOST as much asI like watchin the faces of the poor little S-10
owners as they quickly drop behind as I take off from a stop light...("big
ole yeller 4X4 truck whomped me!... WTF!") PRICELESS!
