Those are great numbers. Got a 2010 5.4. Any suggestions for somebody who doesn't touch the interstate. I am stuck at 15 mpg.

Those are keep right laws, it doesnt say anything about it being illegal to go under the SL, you just better not be in the left lane if you are. Which I totally agree with.

I think we agree, just got mixed up.

If you go slower than the SL keep right.

I don't know what kind of life you guys lead that you have time to waste just driving below the speed limit, but plenty of us don't have that time to waste. Even if I did, I wouldn't want to spend it in the car. I don't care how slow you go, as long as you don't interfere with me going as fast as I want if you can help it (multiple lanes etc).

Just cause you bought a truck and can't afford gas for it doesn't mean the rest of us can't, get out of the f'in way please, thanks! Drive right, pass left, its not that hard. I really don't even speed, but I do like to at least go the speed limit. So many more morons are driving slow now that gas is higher, its getting ridiculous, keep right mother Fers! I got places to be and would like to at least travel the speed limit, lol! Don't even get me started on jack wagons who don't understand the concept of cruise control and are varying speed by 10 or more mph for no damn reason other than stupidity. You should have to pass a test or something in order to drive, haha!
I know since you live in North Dakota with long distance drives that it can be frustrating getting slowed up by slower traffic. I live in Montana and have the same issues with slower traffic. I drive the speed limit or faster, but I don't feel so self-righteous and so ultimately self-important that I "own the road". Yeah, I get impatient, but damn dude, it sounds like you are about to stroke out about the whole thing.

Man, you must live a stressful life.

Grab a beer and relax because going 65 in a 70 isnt going to cost you that much time.

That would assume I drove 70 in a 70. Around here on the highway the average speed is roughly 15-20 over. So going 5 under would increase my driving time by 30%, which adds up. Yes I do lead a stressful life with lots going on, and I plan to keep it that way.

Really??? I bought a truck because I wanted one. And I worry about maximizing fuel economy because if I can plan ahead and leave a few minutes earlier and drive 10 mph slower, it's money in my pocket!!!!

To the rear-end it's a 3.55ls. To the guys that are fussing at me. I'm sorry. I use to be the same rush rush impatient yada yada. And I still am to a point. And when I do find someone slower than me I do pass in the fastlane but I speedup to 75 or so and get back over. And to the Jack rabbit comment. That is most deffently the most annoying.

To the city guy with 15mpg. Thats really good pretty close to mine. As far as helping. Umm keep them tires aired up possibley add a bed cover. I have a access it's about 350 installed. Didn't do it for MPG but for storage. As I still use my truck as a truck.

Dont let it bother you, what fun would the internet forums be if we couldnt get angry and argue with people who live 2k miles away about minute idiocracies that dont amount to much?
