   HA! I wish I got 18-20mpg. I, too, am coming from a Shadow which got
pretty decent mpg but now my V8 guzzles it down. At least it's steady mpg, I
got 13.1mpg to and from Central Cal towing a pair of waverunners. I normally
get 13.2mpg so no big deal there. City/Hwy doesn't seem to matter to this
beast, it just drinks the stuff down.... I need to take out stock in ARCO,
maybe I'd get some of my money back...

I am getting 18 mpg on my truck in the *small* city and 20 on a long trip on
the highway...my sticker tells me I should be getting 20/25 - least I think
it does. Why would I be getting such bad gas mileage? Or is it all that
bad? I'm having a hard time adjusting from my Shadow of 32 mpg to this
truck in the first place, but if something is wrong, I wanna know cause I
keep looking in my pocket and it's empty...can't even go see a movie since I
bought this damn thing. I have to put gas in it like 3 times in two weeks.

I keep reminding myself that I got the greatest truck made to ease my
mind...
