Guess I'll put in my .02 cents on the millage survey.

'93 V8, 3.55, auto, regular cab, short wheel base, MarkIII running
boards, 255/60 tires, NO tonneau, and a bug shield. Around town about
12.5 - 13.5 mpg. Normal driving 80% highway is about 14.5 - 15 mpg. I
did get 18.6 on the interstate once. I don't "get on it" from every
stop light, but I don't let any grass grow under me either.

Southeast Texas gas prices: (at select locations)
        $1.15 for 87
        $1.20 for 89
        $1.31 for 93
I have seen super going for $1.45 But the prices go up and down all the
time....
