We've had lots of cases where the O.P. was obviously trolling - moreso when gas was > $3.50 / US gallon. I recall more than a few "incursions" from truck & traditional performance car forums. (I assume when they're mad at the amount they have to pay for fuel, they decide to take it out on this forum.)

But those ones are a bit more obvious when they happen. Personally, I didn't get that vibe from this guy until his 2nd post.

Though I'll admit I thought it was odd he was looking for full size truck advice after stating his upfront concern was "PURE FUEL ECONOMY".
