looking at how many more miles per gallon you get trying to hypermile a truck can be discouraging. hopefully youre looking at the percentage change. getting 1 more mpg in the truck would be similar to getting 4 more mpg in your del sol.

but yea, i cant move my trucks numbers around alot either. '91 k1500 5.7 normally runs 13-13.5mpg. i can pull a car trailer w/car and only drop down to 11mpg. i've taken a long trip to pick up a motorcycle for a friend, set the cruise at 60 and proceeded in burning off a full tank full in one straight shot and only managed 17.07mpg. so best case scenario i only get like 3.5mpg better...but thinking percentage wise, if it was you del sol, that amount of change would be similar to like 15mpg difference.
