Mike,
Wow, better prices !! here it just hit 1.39 gal for 93.
I am now getting a steady 15mpg. I drive 18 miles back and forth to work
daily 11 of that is back country roads, the rest is in town. The exhaust
leak i had when fixed, uped my mileage close to 3/4 mpg. Seems like you
should be getting a little better than you are, since i am a 4x4 and have
full cap and i probably out weigh you by 800lbs or so. Just a thought.
But i cant remember all the mods you have.
Randy

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....
