MY TWO CENTS......
I'm getting 13MPG's
23gallons=300miles
but them 35's dont help me none, im driving 60city/40hwy and at the stoplights im the first one off the line......
This subject is like beating a dead horse, but i like it because you can see how others are fairing and what variables to factor when your trying to calculate MPG's. besides the fact that diesel is $4.00 plus...

I used to get 16 mpg on average...but ever since I put on those high performance/fuel saving "Banks Power" stickers I've been getting at least 27 mpg.

After sitting all night and not being started at all, I topped it off again this morning out of a plastic fuel can, all I did was make a big mess and could not even get another quart into it. So my figures yesterday must have been accurate.

If you're doing this with winter blend and a 4 x 4 you have nothing to complain about and must drive with some kind of sanity. I'm as crazy as the next guy, I just can't afford to be crazy anymore.

You've missed your calling in life. Head for Burbank, California and get a job writing for Jay Leno.
