My question to you....
How many of you have changed the way you drive?
Have you slowed down much?
Checked and raised the air pressure in your truck tires?

Myself, I drive as efficiently as possible.
I keep my tires @ 80psi, the rpm's down and try to stay within the speed limit.
I'm starting to watch my overhead A LOT more. I know it isn't accurate, but you can at least track if you're driving less/more efficiently. I haven't slowed down yet, especially since I straight piped my truck today

Started mixing some motor oil in that comes out of some of our race cars, so I know its good relatively low use oil. It was only 4-5 gallons, but any bit helps.

Has anyone ever used one of those "Frapper" programs or whatever they are? Maybe we could get something set up on here where in stead of 40 pages of fuel prices, we could do one of those maps and track how prices currently look across the country?
