Thanks Metro.

I got a garage going and no I don't have a fuel consumption display for either truck. Right now money is a little tight, so a scan gauge will have to wait.

Just slowing down has improved my fuel mileage in my Tacoma quite a bit (going the speed limit). I'm shooting for 25mpg in the tacoma. I'm going to make bed cover soon out of a piece of metal roofing.

I think the best thing I could do for the Ford is to get the torque converter to lock up sooner. But first it needs intercooler boots, they all leak and aren't cheap. It's always something!
