I think "some" of you guys are full of *&%^, I agree with the comment about "the 2 things a guy will lie about". I have had a new 1998 Chevy p/u, a new 2000 chevy p/u, a new 2002 chevy p/u, a new 2004 dodge diesel, and now a new 2006 dodge diesel. Almost everybody I ask got or gets better mileage than I do. There is no way I can be that unlucky and have the worst mileage truck ever built from that manufacturer for that particular year, and before you say something about my driving style that is a bunch of [censored] too, I have not had a speeding ticket in over 13 years nor an accident, so don't tell me it is my driving style.

I hate to tell you rodbender it is your driving habits, I can get anywere from 10 to 20mpg out of my truck while empty, driving habits have all to do with it. My dad hasnt had a speeding ticket or accident in over 20 years, and I get better mpg on average than he does in it.

She ain't as pretty as she once was, but 19 years (come June 1, 2008) without any payments (except insurance) covers a lot of ugly.

I'm looking at getting a 1992 - 1996 Oldsmobile wagon (1992 on that), Buick Roadmaster wagon, or a Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham to save on gas...They tow 7,000 lbs if equipped right, so might be worth it....Sometimes you gotta think outside the box, right? However, I'll never get rid of Big Red

If i mash on the throttle, I might as well be throwing my cash out the window!!!!!!!!

Hmmm a supercharged v-8 throwing up better numbers than just about anything out there, I dont buy it. Do you live at the top of a mountain and only check it at the bottom?

Pulling a boat I'll get around 13-15 going 60.

I found that 60 mph is the magic number for optimal fuel mileage for my truck.
