    What's the story with the 14-15 mpg? How long has it been low? What were you getting before? I missed something here... :confused:

    Top of the Mornin' to you Mayor. :D

    You went from what size to what size? What were you getting before? Have ya'll been in a cold snap since you put on the new tires? I lose up to 2 MPG's here when we get consistent single digit/negative temps. :notsure:

    And good morning Adam.

    Did the "security monkey" straighten out your access?

    :thumbsup: I was always that way in my Superintendent active duty days ... had to get in the zone (mood) to write; but once I got there it went pretty fast. When you're not in the zone it just doesn't happen. If that makes any sense? :notsure:

    We have a heat wave going on again ... -2C feels like -4C. Things are getting sloppy and dirty ... hate it when it gets this warm. Shouldn't happen until true break up IMHO ... but I haven't figured out how to get Mother Nature to cooperate with my plan. :rolleyes:

    Good Mornin' Brandan. You feelin' any better?

    makes sense to me for sure... guess I'm in the zone this am... :p

    I always do my best work in the early AM... it also helps that TW was a ghost town at 0500 today.

    There are a number of factors. Went from a 265/70/16 to a 265/75/16. I went from a highway tire to an AT. It has been cold. We have gotten 2" of snow twice since I filled up.
    I was getting 18-20mpg. Last tank before the tire change was 17mpg. This tank will be around 15 maybe 14. Just came as a shock. Buddy of mine in town gets 18 with 285/75/16 tires.
