Put 16 gallons of diesel in it. MPG has dropped to less than 10... :confused:

16 gallons and 157 miles
Bernie, I realize that we are very far apart, but I've dropped in MPG in both trucks. I haven't changed driving style at all. Its too damn early to switch over to a winter blend!


Today, I filled the back of the S10 up with leaves 3 times and hauled them to the recyclers.

I helped a friend do brakes on a '73 3/4 ton (front & rear). I've never seen or worked on a 14-bolt Semi-Float. Interesting to see and how they are put together.

Well today is Tahoe TLC day. It is going on another trek to Montana on Tuesday.

-Oil change (Valvoline Synthetic)
-Fuel filter
-Tire rotation
-Need to finish adjusting her amps for the trip, wish I had time to replace the sub

Done!

Sub is blown in the Tahoe :fume:

New Kicker Comp on order!

Mine's a diesel, and we've been getting night time temps in the 30's, so it's definitely time for winter blend on mine. Still, that shouldn't affect the mileage the way it has. About all I can think of is that I did spend a few hours idling it since the last fill up, so that's probably the reason.

Loaded the front diff from the '06 up in the back of it, along with some tools and consumables.

Took the kiddo around town for trick or treat. Then drove to Houston for work.
