They don't affect me because I rarely drive my F150. I drive my impala most of the time. I don't like putting miles on my truck if I don't have to because it is getting up there in miles.

It does, I take it easy on the little pedal, shift early, coast as much as possible. With my daily drive I average about 18.5mpg, not bad for a 4x4 V8 full size. Gas is around $3.60 here

Even though it totally doesnt affect me, I still try to do well. Best I've ever had was 14.9...

I don't change my driving at all. My wife uses the truck for farm work a couple times a week and her granny-style driving assures we stay around 13-14MPG. The weeks it's just me I average 10-12MPG.

Your gas is so cheap because they water it down south of the mason dixon
I'd rather pay 40-50 cents more per gallon and live amongst civilized folks

I'll put this smiley here so it looks like I was joking


And no, gas prices don't effect how I drive, I always drive pretty easy, it's a big truck, no need to be in a hurry, handles like crap, stops like crap, I just cruise.
