Quote from: wavery;210484It was good seeing everyone again. It's been too long.....How come Wynn just keeps getting younger and I just keep getting older......Can't wait for the "Trick-or-Treat" rally.
 
Thanks for the compliment on the truck Dave. I'm a little happier with it now. I took on 27Gal of gas on the way home and got 17.7MPG. That's actually better than my best (towing) mileage on the S10 (16.7). The trip up the coast to Carmel will be the real test. I haven't pulled any real hills with it yet. I'm a little leery of the 3.23 rear-end in this thing but if it keeps giving me this kind of mileage without too much grief on the hills, I may just leave it alone.

Great gas mileage Wayne ,maybe a coldair intake and mess with the chip a bit.

I just got an OBDII Scanner. Now I'll be able to monitor all of my computerized systems...:D.....including MPG (and other performance data), and all fluid temps.

Wayne,
Eyes on the road, not on the scanner OK?
I got a scangauge II and it's truly depressing to see the single digit MPGs as you get on the freeway. I did improve my leadfoot habits ~2MPG both when towing and just on the road in general.
The half a gallon an hour for sitting at the stop light is an eye opener too.
(That's a nickel a minute at $3 a gal. Just don't tell the guy honking behind me while I'm staring at my gauge and figuring it out)

Congrats on the new wheels.
