    Is that hand calculated or going by the in dash computer?

    Glad you like it. I was going to comment originally that you're probably going to see a big MPG difference. Good to see these trucks getting good mileage. Even better than my midsize (I really need to upgrade:D ).

    Wow - that's some impressive mileage you're getting. My 06 with the 5.4 gets around 13 mpg in town and 16-ish on the highway. I'd KILL for 22 on the highway.

    Although the 11 payments until mine is paid off is keeping me from doing anything at the moment.

    Congrats on the new rig. Now I won't make fun fo you for driving a foreign truck. Instead I'll just make fun of you for being ugly. :D

    Matt - Kinda both. After 100 miles, I topped the tank off just so I could calculate by hand. The dash computer was within a tenth of a mile. Since then I've just been reading the dash. I'll check again when it's time to fill the tank.

    I hear you there, I was in about the same spot with my Nissan and didn't really want to get rid of it, but it just didn't make sense to keep putting $$$ into repairs.

    Come one, you can get more creative than that........I figured you would have come up with something like my catlike reflexes or football skills. :rock:
