From Davenport, Iowa to Chicago and back.

Avg speed: 66.xx mph

Total miles: 378

Average fuel mileage: 14.384 mpg

Not too shabby for a 20 year old truck. I completely ran down the rear tank and still have close to a quarter left on the front tank.

It may have done better if I kept it to highway miles only. But, I had to make a few side trips to some old haunts in the western suburbs and I think the tires have about had it. It gets pretty shaky above 75 mph.

I may keep this one a while!

I see the Petersen Plumbing van. Do you or a family member work for them?

Ah, cool. Reason I ask is because I also work for Local 25 as a pipefitter, currently with Ryan & Associates. Did you go through your apprenticeship with 25 or did you transfer?

Either way, small world.

I transferred. I started with Local 130 in Chicago.

Small world for sure!
