[QUOTE="Ouachita, post: 1800206, member: 16802"] I agree with that, but I've verified miles driven and fuel added (using the same pump until auto shutoff). I've only had the truck three weeks and 1300 miles, so as I get more data I may find the average empty mileage settles in at less than 25.8. I just looked at the original window sticker which shows .373 gears. After a bit of research it appears a special order, and that most one tons came with .410 or .456. That makes quite a difference in economy v. power. This truck gets better mileage whereas your truck would likely run off with a load, leaving me choking diesel smoke. I'm a couple hours from any highway with greater than 55mph speed limit, and these roads in the Ouachita's aren't much faster than that anyway. The engine is turning 1500rpm at 55mph. Driving habits, as well as compelled driving technique amongst other traffic, both effect fuel mileage, and I drive like an old man. I still have not buried the foot-feed. [/QUOTE]
