Hit 20.6mpg!!

Yeah I know to you guys in those little Civics and Metros that number would be appalling, but for my 3.5ton Iceberg like pickup it's a new high This was only over a 43mile run in about 40degF temp with rolling hills between Annapolis MD and Timonium MD. But this is 1.6mpg or 8.4% better than I've ever gotten before So I'm PUMPED.
Changes-Installed Scangauge II, folded right mirror, removed chip guard from hood, blocked 80% of grill opening, tightened nut behind wheel. No good ABA test but I'm sure it's probably 80% just watching that ScanGuage.

More easy mods to come and my ultimate goal is 25mpg at 62mph.
