Thanks guys. I am near Richmond.

I have been thinking about how I can get better economy out of my vehicles, mainly my dakota. I occasionally save fuel by biking to work, but looking for other ways. I am currently thinking about more common upgrades, like electric radiator fans and reducing excess weight. I am not thinking about big changes on the truck; i still want to use it as a truck. If I am traveling a long way, I'll take the car.

I have not been tracking the mpg much. I think the tank average has been about 17mpg. I would like to get to 20mpg, but I know the truck is heavy and brick like. I am excited to read about the new light duty diesels, too bad the compact truck market is dead.
