    And proceeded to grab some fire wood and further dent my tailgate.

    Winter gas is killing my mileage the past 3 fill ups.

    I hope it's winter gas at least

    Colorado defenity switched to the crap winter gas. My milage dropped last two tanks as well. Got 14.8 yesterday. Worst ever. Was averaging 21 in town all this summer. The cold weather and warming up the car don't help either.

    I drop a little with the winter gas to. It sucks since I put 110 a day on the truck but that's why I've got a prerunner!!

    The concept is hilariously pitiful. Lower emissions (debatable) but make you burn more gas.

    I always run 87 (mid grade)

    I used to think it was a lot worse but so far this year I'm only averaging about 1mpg less. I'm doing my 60k mile maintenance next week so I will see if it comes back up after.

    I'm down 2-3 mpg or so.

    And only 60K? Good lord.

    I use 89 octane since that's our midgrade with 10% ethanol. My truck seems to like the cold better than summer heat, mainly because it's humid all summer.
    60k! :) I have a crap load of stuff to change over christmas break.

    How tall is the basket. I'd keep the lights as low and slim as possible.

    I can tell you that I put 4 hella 500s on my roof he first go around and the air drag was HORRIBLE. Couldn't even hardly go up hills at 55. Lost 2mpgs as well. That's why they fold down this go around :p

    I'd get two small square ones like KCs and HID them.

    It's just under 5 1/2" tall. I was really thinking about a bar but dang they're pricey!!

    Is at the space inbetween the bars??

    I'd keep it down to two lights if I was you.
