What really sucks is that Winston Cup (NASCAR) cars get 4mpg, but are
running 700+hp engines over 8000rpm and nearly 200mph to get it - you'd
think a mild-mannered Dakota would get a little better than it does......

Not that I'm complaining - I regularly see over 20mpg on the highway with my
Dak (but it's an older model, several hundred pound lighter and smaller
frontal area than newer Daks). Heading from TX to SoDak tomorrow, will see
what kinda mpg I get this time around with 145k on the truck :-þ
