I didn't notice what a difference 10 psi in your tires make. I should be getting 25mpg on the next tank

If it was the one from Waxahachie Tx you could see it from over 40 miles away.

I drove right past it(it's next to Hwy 287) on the way to Burleson at 5:15 and it looked like a bomb hit it. They were still spraying it heavily and it was still burning. At 9:00 when I went back by it still had small hot spots burning but they were no longer spraying water. The chemical smell was overpowering. Had to turn the a/c off for a couple of miles.

Nope, had to make a delivery this morning and go snoop at a competitor.

I drove 340 miles yesterday and last night with about 40 of it in town. Had cruise set on 70 for the most part, but got up to 80 mph twice to pass ignert drivers. Averaged 20.5 mpg. Not bad for a strong running big ole truck.

Yep. Driving the new one is so boring that tracking the gas mileage is all I have to do.

The Sync can keep you busy too. I have the cuss out that woman on there every now and then to get her to do what I want. Last night, I tried to use blue tooth to call my BIL and when I said his name, it asked if I meant someone else. I told the bluethooth woman what I thought and my wife laughed for about 10 miles. You have to understand, she hates technology. She hates computers, bluetooth, debit cards, the works.
