Default Surprising increase in truck MPG

That 1.2gph figure at 60 and 65 equates to 50 and 54mpg, Alan, so
you're as accurate as Iggy's "about the same gallons."

Heh heh heh.

You are right, but I said there was a wind load. Most of my driving is
on backroads between 25 an 50, and at the pump it seems to always work
out to 1.2 GPH. The engine barely produces 55 Hp and the vehicle weighs
in at about 1500 lb with me in it.

cheers
