    4.3,5 speed, 3.23 gears, A/C off, highway driving. It's also a stripper truck, the only weight adding option is the A/C. I calculate it as KM/L x 2.82

    The 28 was a one time thing, perfect conditions driving a little better than reasonable, I average 26 and got as low as 19 at one point (cheap gas and a heavy foot)

    Since I can't afford to knock on 11's I get a little amusement out of trying to make it as efficient as I can, once I can hit 30mpg the V6's life in the truck is over.

    Ah didn't realize it was a V6. That explains a few things.

    You know this is predominantly a performance site right?

    Just kidding with you man.

    Haha yeah I'm well aware, but there is more to performance then going fast in a straight line.
