Well, the Platinum EB did not do so well on fuel to San Antonio. Into a head wind going down, 14 mpg. On the return, with a tail/cross wind, 18 mpg. Then he told me he was driving 80 most of the time. Even at 80, though, that is not real good.

Turbo charged vehicles get really crappy fuel mileage when you'er constantly on the throttle making them work. My truck get's it's best mileage when you baby the throttle and don't go over 2000-2100 RPM where the peak torque. He is going to have to relearn driving habits to get good mileage out of that motor.

Apparantly I have suffered from clinical depression most of my life. Just found out that the symtoms are lethargy and irritability.

88 can I soften the downshift on the 4-3 myself? It's a bit firmer than I want. Cletus (sp?) on the forum did it, but I connected the Gryphon to Pegasus and it says unable to download or whatever when I try to update it.

Going with my BIL to the church tonight. I get to cook the sausage for the big breakfast feast we do once a month. Scrambled eggs, biscuits, hash browns, bacon, sausage, gravy, coffee, milk, OJ, jelly, hot sauce, molasses and butter. We cook it all up and it's a feast.
