Really not bad all things considered! That truck has to weigh like 5000LBS right?

How fast, on average?

Thats like double the distance and three times the amount of gas that I can fit in my Miata.

Indeed. Zero range anxiety here! I think I might have gotten 200 miles to a tank on my NA, but I was always winding it out everywhere I went.

Average? I dunno. Climbing over mountains with the cruise set and letting it stuck the pedal down and down shift on its own, AC blasting... Cruise was set between 70 and 80 most of the way. Elevation varied between 4300 and 6000 feet, and it gets real wheezy up around 5000 feet!

I can usually eek out 300 miles out of 11 gallons with the needle solidly buried in the E at that point. But that requires a good bit of highway driving to accomplish. Somewhere in the 250-280 mile range is about average. But I have had a tank of 11.5 gallons depleted in just under 200 miles before though. That was a fun as hell day!
