On the weekend you prove that the wife's route to work can yeild 35+ mpg by loading the wife and kid into a single cab pickup and driving there and back and picking up ice cream while your in town to make a outing of it ..

Yeah we did this this weekend, the wife insisted that here route to work was to hilly to get over 30 mpg.. she had been trying all week.. so we loaded up the regular cab pickup 3 across and went for ice cream in the town she works at, the dairy queen is 2 blocks further than her work place so it was basically the exact route.

We pull in back home and I check the scan gauge.. New record in the pickup!!! 35.7 MPG.. she concedes that it is possible and that she needs to work harder.

He, he I'm always right .. lol
