Take the LEAD out of your foot :) I know its hard. My worst mileage so far
was around 13.5, but that was because my there was something loose in the
cat. On average, I get around 15 miles city driving. I got around 20 mpg on
the trip to Hotchkis(around 70 miles each way) to get my kit installed. This
included a little traffic both ways and a trip up in the hills to test the
kit. Do you have the 15 gallon tank? I do and usually get around 200 miles
each fill up. Your truck sounds similar to mine. . . Do you run the a/c a
lot if you have it?
