    Damn city driving crushing my average. But then again, I'm 7 minutes from work. So it's not all that bad.

    Steel Supply, LP in Houston has terrible customer service. They may be the best source for metal, but when you purchase tube from them and have them cut it before you pick it up... they will not replace, nor exchange it, if it's not what you wanted. Now I have a $60 piece of tube that they won't exchange and I can't use. Thanks Steel Supply, it's nice to know your profit margin is more important than exchanging a single piece of steel because of a mistake on your end! You'll lose more than $60 in business after I spread the word to all my friends who are fabricators...

    I think most of that is those mild 255s. My taco had km1s in that size when I got it and mileage was similar to yours if I remember correctly. Definitely not a bad as with these 285s. But 285s win hands down off roa imo.

    I thought you got better MPG on the highway from the ecobewst. Or do you tend to do more city driving?
