I am with you there. As soon as I get a few more miles and financially stable I am driving over to KEM and see what they can do for me. I might just ask for the Julian Special.

Well if I don't let my right foot control my brain then I can get 15 to 16 in the city and if I hit the sweet spot on the highway 67 to 69 I can get upwards of 23 and but above 75 it drops back to 17 or 18.....I also know a lot has to do with the 4:10s I have out back.....it would be better if I was geared lower

thats all hand calculated? Not by the display? WOW! Yeah you would probably be running 3-4 more with 3.73's!

I have a '08 supercab 4x4 auto with 3.73 and 18" wheels. If I cruise at 70mph I get around 14 combined and just by slowing to 60-63mph I can bump the combined up to just under 20mpg-hand calculated. My drive consists about 50 miles highway and 10 city each way. Anything above 1800rpm is a bad place to be while highway cruising. The backpressure doubles and the engine runs a close post injection which wastes lots of fuel. I know it is hard to drive that slow but for me it is worth it.
