MPG -- Let's Compare
Picked up the truck on 08/20/00 with 5 miles and a full tank; in 2000 - H/L: 17.35/12.31, average 14.13. So far this year - H/L: 14.42/11.73, average 12.78. The low figures cannot be blamed on the truck - it is "operator timing and head space" - if I would keep my foot out of it I would get better gas mileage . . . !

One word must start each prayer.

One touch can show you care.

You see, it's up to you!!</font>
