:dunno: I complain more about dishing out all my money to the oil industry. I'll always drive a truck, and it'll always have a V8 in it. :chevy:

Not really, like I say to people that complain about their trucks gas mileage all the time.
"You don't buy a truck for gas mileage"
I'm about like Bernie, I get 12 within .5 mpg no matter how I drive, so I don't get too worried about it.

Tahoe gets 15-16 but if it got 10-12 I'd still drive the **** out if it. :D

Mine has been getting about 11-12 until I replaced my plugs and wires and added a bottle of Amsoil perfomance additive. Now I had14.9 average on my last tank.

I like the pedal on the floor and the engine screaming so much more than I like good fuel economy.


:lolup:...What he said...

With the Caddy I try to be fairly conservative..."MOST" of the time.
But I ain't afraid to stand on it if need be, or sometimes just to hear it wind up to 7000 RPM...:lol:
Besides, the mileage drops quite a bit when cruising faster than 95...:(

Nope. I gave up on that a long time ago in the Ford. Heck, the Scangauge II stopped giving me MPG because it couldn't stop laughing at me long enough to calculate it! :dunno:

The Ram, on the other hand, gets pretty decent gas mileage :thumbs: But neither of us really care too much.

We just fill them both up twice a month and we are good to go!
