It must be a March thing... I bought mine last March as well and my mileage is
almost identical --maybe a little higher around town, but not much.

I have the same truck as you except mine's a 98. Around town I get 10.8
MPG. And on my recent trip to the coast I got 14.6 MPG. And it's been that
way since I bought the truck last march. I have no idea how all you guys
get such great mileage!!!
