On the other hand....I hope they found a gas station after this pic

Its almost triple what I get during everyday driving in my Burban. But double what I get on the highway.

That's because you're not turning the truck off while driving down the highway.

That is part of what they did to get that mileage.....which makes the mileage they got completely irrelevant.

The first time he suggested it, I hesitated. After all, I'd never tried to drive a vehicle at 45 miles per hour with the engine completely off. But here I was, cresting a long hill on a highway somewhere in Oklahoma and Wayne Gerdes was saying in a strong voice, "Do a FAS. Turn it off, turn it off. Shift to neutral, then turn it off." I followed his instructions, finally, and hoped that the nice people from CleanMPG who were in the truck with me were not going to get hurt when we crashed.
