Good for you! Nothing much different here - SSDD - same stuff, different day. Yes, I think Jim has been helping RP out quite a bit on TOTM lately.

I wish I knew why I get much better MPG if I fill up when I have at least a half tank. I topped off the tank last night, 10+ gallons and the average was over 1 1/2 mpg better than I get when I put in 20 gallons. It happens every time and there has to be an explanation. May have to do with air in the gas or more evaporation with more room in the tank, but I would like to hear the reason.

Nice. I just started getting 15.5 in town all of a sudden with my truck and the only thing that I can attribute the increase to is I am not hot rodding around with the truck.

Don't get too excited Grasshoppa, until you fill up and do the math.

Thanks for the link. I had forgotten that post that actually had a real explanation. It really is amazing how that works.

Yup... light foots make a huge difference... I can only imagine how I would do with dynatech headers and 2.5" true duals on the highway all tuned.
