Terrible Gas Mileage
My last two tankfuls of gas were 10 and 11.6 MPG. I've never gotten worse that 12.
I bought a locking gas cap, and now the mileage is back to normal. Beware of high gas prices. It will bring out the thieves in droves.
The same thing happened last year when the gas prices went up.

I am currently getting 10.5 MPG and the truck is only left alone in the locked garage. I hope MPG gets better after she's broke in.

Picked up the 01 yesterday. Drove it 398 kilometers (246.7 miles) and topped it up with 55 litres (13 US gallons) = 18.97 mpg. I was not babying it at all. My 00 never got that good.

Maybe I should get one of those magic gas caps that add miles to my tank. My first tank was 11.5, 2)10.8, 3)11.3, 4) 12.5 highway with cruise control 50/50, 5) 11.5. IF that blower did not sound soo good I would get much better milage.
