    Funny how your truck never tastes winter blend gasoline. :rolleyes:

    I get 19-20 myself. It's mostly how you control the skinny pedal.

    The winter blend in the northeast was brutal this year. Prices were better than ever but the MPG drop was bigger than ever.

    Saw 50 degrees today though :D

    ..in the summer, I tend to average (just calculate at each fill up) around 20MPG, sometimes as much as 21MPG...

    All these trucks getting ~20 mpg is just crazy to me. I got 20 once, freeway, downhill from Big Bear. Never been anywhere close since. Stock truck.

    What kind of driving style does it take to achieve such results? Freeway I can understand more, but in the city? What kind of speeds, rpm's does it take? Any traffic involved? Is your hair blue? :)
