    That sucks, but that number would be more like, just over 400km wouldn't it, as don't you run a larger tire size than stock?

    I'm averaging 440km's in this shit ass cold weather but that's with factoring in a slightly larger tire. I would probably get better gas mileage than most as I drive 95% highway. Regardless I'd like to see our trucks get better mileage.

    Now I see why you beat me so badly. Work is 300m from home and I need to drive there in case I need to go somewhere for work (and to stop at Tims, of course). The gym is 2km away, and Tim Hortons is about 3km. Unless I leave town I never drive more than 10km at once in the winter... Plus, highs in the -20's, lows around -30C.

    Well OZ. I think you just gave me the curse. Went out to run an errand and my gas light came on. Brutal!!!!!!!

    I beat you by .6 of a km...however I'm running BFG KO 265/70/17's on stock sport wheels. DC SB Manual. So not really.

    I should try changing my plugs. Can't say I ever have and I'm nearing 150,000km. Any brands or types of plugs that are better than others?

    lift and tire size are part of it, have you re-geared your truck to accommodate the 33s?
