i told myself that too haha. Im almost 23, still no diesel. i do however have an F150, a non-stock 04 Ranger, 03 Ninja 636 beefed up a little motor wise, and a 2011 Harley Sportster.

stick with what you have. take it from someone who got in deep quick. I wish i would have skipped out on the harley, and even one of the trucks, because id have my own house by now with all the money ive dropped on vehicles in the past 4 years.

back to the original topic, what kind of geography do you have where you live/drive. that will have an effect on your mileage as well if its really hilly, or pretty much anything but flat land. Also, do you have a rab, scrab, or scab? what all do you keep in the truck? i know that it shouldnt make that much of a difference, but all of these things will add up in taking away gas mileage from you.

Mostly hills where I live. Extended cab, a small toolbox and some tie down straps. I do have a brush guard and a backrack on my truck

I only he own a 4.2 (2 wheel drive) supercab.

In vacation driving through kansas at 70MPH @ 2,000 rpm I got 19.6 MPG

Typical city for me is around 15-16 depending on how heavy the stop-n-go traffic is.

all stock except for a K&N air filter and tonneau cover over bed.
