It's funny I had been thinking about a post I need to do on here. My mileage has been crap, 10.5 - 11.5 when not 90% highway which got me 12.5 Loaded unloaded made zero difference. neutral at stops vs in gear made no difference. I've been compensating by driving the truck minimally. I swear I drive like grandma with a broken right foot but it's just horrible.

Anyways I got a clunk from the front end last weekend and noticed that when I first touched the brakes they seemed to be sticking so I went in to get the brakes looked at.

Long story short $3400 later I've got all new everything from the master cylinder down. The brakes where all partially sticking and one had just gotten worse that I noticed. I filled up 20 km before getting the work down. so far I've only put 220 km on it but just going by the gauge and the extra pickup the truck now has I'd say I should easily improve on my current average. I used to go 300-350 km on the front tank. The gauge says E at 250-260 normally. right now at 220 it's at half... So in a few more weeks when I fill up again I'll update the tracker on here and post an update in this thread.

I will note that I bought a scanguage and really really wish I had been able to use it. even thought the truck is a 97 it's not obd2. I still haven't seen a vacuum gauge while I'm out and about and haven't decided to order one in yet. my wallet is a lot lighter after the brakes...
