I agree, the winter fuels, and even the new fuel with all the alcohol is really effecting my gas millage. My truck which also has the high volume fuel pumps used to get great millage. Now with the new fuel blends, my millage had dropped a good amount.

That's what I get in my truck with stock fuel pumps. You're just not used to the milage.

When you romp it, it'll run that... I "average" out 12... if I *****-foot it, the truck will get about 15, but that's no fun... I accelerate as hard as I can (safely) when I can because its fun...and out goes the gas mileage with it.

Worst I've gotten is less then 10 road racing... I think it was 7 or 8, but I'd have to go back and look.

I drove from Missouri to Vegas and back (2800 miles) and only got 13-14 mpg. I usually get around 11-12 mpg in town. Thats on a bone stock 04 with 23,000 miles on her.
