Lots of great points, slomover. It's always tough comparing one fuel mileage scenario to another--try as we may, there's hardly ever a true apples-to-apples comparison.

As you've correctly pointed out, I've adapted my driving and truck to the way I use it. This is particularly true of my driving style. I've spent over 2 years keeping a daily log of every single commute. By now, it's 25 miles of choreography. And, every so often I'll find a nee helpful tweak or change that makes it a little better, and then I have to form a new habit.

Most people would be amazed how much can be gained by this continuous refinement. It's gotten so I almost never match by typical commuting FE numbers when on any other route, even if it would appear more favorable (fewer lights & stop signs, etc.).
