>>>13.5 miles per gallon...thats right, around 200 miles per tank
full. 21000 miles on truck, most of my trips are around 5 miles, to
work, to school.<<<

there's your problem. When I'm at school my 6er only goes like 5 or 6
miles at the time and I get about 11 mpg. That's pretty normal because
the engine doesn't really get to warm-up all the way. An exhuast and K&N
will help, assuming you keep your foot out of it (unlike my lead-footed
self..hehehe)
