LOL!!
Yeah, I was a little concerned about your drive too Troy, all 2 miles of it.
Well, we ended up going through St. Cloud on the way home, made all but 2 lights going through town then ran into a detour in Princeton. Added about 15 minutes or so to the drive. Then, people driving 5 to 10 under most of the way to Taylors Falls added some more time. In all,190 miles from the park, 3 hours and 50 minutes. We also had a 10 minute bathroom break in there too. I'll calculate mileage tomorrow, but figuring 11-12 mpg. Really need to get those up pipes replaced.

I have something wrong on my truck. My mileage never sucked this bad last year but all summer i have had crappy mileage. Even not pulling the camper it sux.
My tranny temps climbed to 220/210 on my guages coming home...
Good morning everyone.

OK now for the story. We were standing around talking and laughing pretty good while having a few cocktails and I managed to get the hiccups. Well I couldn't get rid of the darn things. Well then my wife put her hand by my mouth and told me to hiccup into her hand! Well it worked I got rid of the hiccups but then hiccuping into her hand turned into to something else with all the dirty minds around there if you know what I mean. 
At least that is how I remember it after a few cocktails were consumed! LOL
Good morning Jay! Yeah that is pretty bad on the mileage considering you weren't bucking a strong headwind or anything. Plenty high on the temps also. Have you got up pipes leaking?
At least that is how I remember it after a few cocktails were consumed! LOLPersonally I think that is pretty decent. Round trip for me plus a little extra driving was around 360 miles and I am EMPTY! Under 10 mpg.

No leaking up pipes the last time I checked but I can look again. Mike did better than that with leaking up pipes and a lifted truck with bigger tires...
