Hemi mileage

If you think your mileage is bad.... I was fueling up at my favorite place yesterday when the guy in front of me, in a shiny red HEMI crew cab, came back and asked about my mileage. He almost cried whne I told him. He says he gets 6 MPG towing his travel trailer (26 ft) and 13 -14 unloaded. He also asked if I had trouble getting up to speed with my rig. I had my farm tractor, harrow, box blade and loader all on the back. He really cried when we hit the interstate and i walked off and left him. Best part, he was EMPTY. The camper was parked at a nearby campground.

A friend of mine's Hiney...opps...I mean...HEMI gets 10- 11 MPGs in town with a slightly heavy foot. After showing him what my little o' diesel will do he doesn't brag about his big bad truck around me any more.

What almost made me feel bad was the guy was pretty nice. My best buddy has a new Hemi, but he won't even think about pulling me.
