not fair, not fair at all, i have half the horsepower and i get half the damn mpg... wtf, stupid 4 door slow big truck. if only the L or HD's came with 4wd, would be the perfect truck.
Do yourself a favor and buy a front wheel drive four cylinder beater for the winter. Should help with annual gas costs.

I thought my MPG was bad, but I hear when the Fuel light comes on there is still like 4 gallons left in the tank, so my calculations were off a bit.

401/502, 75% at 75-90 mph on I-75 and the rest around town=14+ to 15 MPG and I keep all fuel records and do the math every 6 or 7 refills. If you don't fill it up to the fuel neck(where you can see the fuel at the time you do the math), you d/k what you are getting MPG-wise. And no, no problems with the fuel cannister causing driving problems or throwing a light.

If I drive mellow, say 65 mph on long trips I can get 19mpg

I allmost got 20mpg comming back fro ohio last year, actually 19.5 mpg. I can go over 300 miles on a tank.

My old Bronco with 456 gears, 33 inch tires, a Carb on a 302 - not so good. I can go through 40 gallons pretty fast, but it is so much fun hehe
