Filled up last night. 605.7 miles. First click on the fillup was 26.71 gal. That calculates to 22.68 mpg. Went ahead and pumped another gallon or so for a 28.03 gallon total fillup. Still calculated to 21.61 mpg. The truck has about 8,500 miles to date. I guess there is something to be said for the 6-spd and rush hour traffic. However, I dont ever expect to see the claimed 24mpg highway. The thing revs at 2,300 rpm at 70 mph.

Now if diesel would get atleast around the price of regular, I would be a happier camper.
