Gear Vendors + old Diesel = 24 mpg

Got a Gear Vendors installed on my 89 Dodge, and so far the results are pretty good. Got 24 mpg yesterday at a constant 65 mph (including hills) and I'm pretty sure a few tires were 10-15 psi low. Also had to race a few imports who thought they could keep up with the old diesel

I plan on airing all the tires up to about 60psi and seeing what it'll do at 55-60mph on flat ground soon. Hard to get a good fuel economy test here in Los Angeles, all the aero mods and coasting in the world won't do a thing if you're stuck in 15 mph traffic for two hours.
