one of these days the weather will break and i think i will get the substantial increase in mpg that i would like to see
maybe in the warmer weather i will try a A B A test. the only thing is my truck is a base truck and does not have cruise control. so would i be wasting my time doing an A B A test?

cc,I just duplicated a 613-mile run I attempted last year which was frustrated by 330-miles of rain.
This time I had dry road the whole way and saw a difference of 36 mpg vs 31.8 for the wet conditions last year.
The stop and go will also severely cut into mpg.It can be 1/2 your HWY mpg!
