Not sure on current mileage as the truck is still on its first tank of gas. Also my summer commute is still up in the air, as I'm not sure where I will be living yet, but most likely it will be highway travel. If I end up being close enough to where my commute is all city traffic, I also have a 50cc scooter. Hopefully I should have things figured out soon.

It has just always bothered me that cars still get as poor gas mileage as they do. Lack of aerodynamics plays a large part in that. The other part is engine technology. There is so much energy in a gallon of gasoline and the automakers harvest so little of it... I guess we just have to do it ourselves.
