Yikes! 17? Highway??? You have a heavy foot :-). I've got
a Dak CC 3.9 5spd 3.55 LSD, I get 18 city (lots of hills
here in Austin) and 23-24 highway at 70-75mph on cruise
control. Switching from 87 octane to 93 octane gained
1mpg for me city/highway, but other than that no mods
to the truck at all. With the 22 gallon tank, I pass
a _lot_ of gas stations...

I'm starting to appreciate my 5spd gear stirrer more, after
seeing some of the numbers the automatic guys post :-).

Have fun,
