I'm never out of the teens when I drive on the interstate with the cc on about 65-70. I think my best ever is about 16mpg.

I don't like driving this truck past 75 for obvious reasons.
Nice job on digging up a THREE YEAR OLD THREAD!!!!!!!!! WTH?

Doc, I got almost 19 once on 285's at 85-90 on the hwy from Dallas to the Ft Hood area but I was drafting two panel vans and hard on their bumper to do it. I hear that if you put large enough magnets on the tailpipe it will "push/pull" you down the road due to all the magnetic reactive re-bar in the roads...but you have to have your tinfoil hat on to block out all the haters.
