Thanks Andy, I pretty much figure I am stuck with the drop for the winter.
It is still better that the 12mpg I got from my '85 Ram 4x4, 'course I
didn't have to add any weight to it!;-) John

Yes, the 300 pounds will make a difference.
Cooler weather will result in running richer (more O2 coming in b/c cold
air is denser means more fuel pumped in).
Colder weather means tire pressure drops (figure 1 PSI per 10 degrees F
temperature change).
