No FB she hasn't. It is an 07' with the HEMI, super loud dual exhaust, 35" tall 18" Nitto Grapplers and a 4' lift! She has it stored/parked here (at Mom/Dad's) while she is deployed overseas until spring of next year when she returns home. I took the liberty(of course) of driving it once to a neighboring city and observed that her instant MPG readout was 14.5mpg average. Well, being the EcoModder guy that I am I reset it and amazingly I got an ave of 20 on the freeway/round trip at 65mph. I remembered a post here talking about the benefits of partially covering the open bed of a pick-up and of course I made another trip just last night with it and it got an ave of 20.4 including the 65mph freeway and a lot of stop/go city combined. On the freeway it was at 24.0mpg as I took the off-ramp into the city, pretty good I thought! :{)
