} About $1.55-1.59 gallon is what I pay at
} Texaco, and average about 19 gallons when I fill
} up (I like to stretch it!) (92 octane)

19 gallons is streching it? I usually put in over 20, and this morning
I pumped in 21.22 gallons. I figure I had about 12 miles left in the
tank. The needle was just clearing the left edge of the empty mark.

} It is set at 115 mph due to the tire rating. If it was set at 145 the Dakota
} would have to come from the factory with VR rated tires.

Nonsense. I got the 2000 pound payload package, which means I got LT
tires which are rated at 85 mph. I got the same computer everybody else
did (115 mph limit). I haven't found the limit myself, but it sure
isn't 85 mph.
