damn... i am trying my best.... it was about 30 deg and snowing tonight on my way to work we have abou 3 inches out there right now but the roads dont look to awful....boo for crappy mpg, but there was an odd occurance i think the snow helped by block off even more, cause my ia temps were 40 deg!!!! but snow and rain and slow speeds hurt this truck.. definitly not a record.
and yesterdays trip was in 21 deg weather and my ia was at 23- 24deg. damn winter haha
1 more trip to work before i fill up...sat morning.
but on the whole trip i was chanting mpggreatness

Ahhhh! I log in this morning to find I'm entered in a death match with taco! I put on the snow tires this week, but I'm already half way through my tank so the impact shouldn't be too bad. It's been cold here, but it hasn't snowed yet.
Game on, taco!

You're welcome to it, bro!
I'm off work all next week, so not sure how quickly I'll get through this tank. I sure ain't in any rush.  |

Idea, Matt: if you've got a Google account, what about posting it as a public web- viewable spreadsheet?

I think I did even better on this tank for my trip to FL... I hit 310 miles at the halfway mark. For the normal ~35MPG tanks, I'm at 250 miles at the halfway point. I've been ~360 miles and I still have a little over 1/3 left.

Good tank though PT. Anything better than your 90 day avg. means your opponent also has to improve their 90 day to advance to the next round.
