Yeah we opened the windows up last night and it was nice to get the house aired out. It is about time for us to start getting less humid weather as fall is approaching. I already have some color starting to show a bit on my maple trees and some bushes that also turn color in the fall.

I have had it since high school, I just driven it since 2008 from the injury. Plus can't afford it right now cause it only gets 9 miles to the gallon

Actually the SD gets as good mpg as the Ranger.

Up and Back to Carlisle, I averaged 21 mpg going 75mph most of the way homey, and a lot of stop and go on the way up, then the short trips while at Carlisle.

Around town, short trips, the SD averages 14 to 15 mpg, while the Ranger gets 15 to 16 mpg.

Considering the weight difference, I think the SD does great. Only problem is Diesel is 20 - 30 cents a gallon more.

Now if I throw a 9,000lb tractor and trailer on the back of the SD, that's a different story. Maybe 8-9 mpg on a good day.

I average around 18 miles per gallon with my 150 which I guess is not too bad. If you are getting that kinda mileage with the SD that is doing good.
