I think i takes this kind of driving to do it. I know the trucks are rated for whatever they're rated for but, at least with mine, I need to pull out some tricks to get those big tanks. Nice job!

I seriously hate *******s that drive 10 mph under the speed limit, let alone 20.. I would lose it lol
Yea I do 65-70 and feel like that's slow but since I love the truck so much, I don't mind being in it for longer unless I'm in a hurry. I don't do too much 80 cruising because I lose like 5mpg compared to 65.

Right there with you, why rush if you don't have to? I usually look for a slow moving 18 wheeler to follow. "I'm not obstructing traffic, I'm just following this guy….."
