And you managed this without megabucks from the feds. You've done a very good thing.

I suggest parking your truck at the front door of DOT with a big sign displaying its actual fuel economy numbers and your costs of modification. Then call the newspapers and TV networks to come and see what a properly done project can be. Lord knows, they need some help.
