I agree with you entirely Andy. I had a 78 3/4 ton with a 4.11 rear end
and a 360 V8 automatic. Pulled like a work horse, but got 10 mpg
(Canadian) always. Highway, city, empty or loaded it didn't matter.
Started to really scream above 65 mph A friend had the same truck with a
3.55 rear end and got 15 mpg in town and 20 on the highway. Cruised
pleasantly at 70. Wasn't quite so good for pulling stumps.
