I'm thinking of getting 100 HP injectors.....not for the power but for the couple of miles per gallon increase they're supposed to give.

HEY!!! My truck resembles that remark!!!

Thank you for your service to the public. It does not go unnoticed, although I am sure the great majority of the time those in law enforcement feel that way.

Hi Guys. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Been real busy lately. Thanks to Fiftygrit for the tip. Changing the fuel filter did the job, and my fuel economy is back to normal. I generally keep my speed down to 100-110 kms or 60-65mph. I quickly found out after I bought the truck that the milage gets steadily worse the faster you drive. No surprise here tho...gas engines do the same.
