I'm definitely a build not buy kind of guy. I have been nicknamed MacGyver on many job sites. One of my goals for this truck is to keep it as truck looking as possible while squeezing every last drop of FE out of it.
The conversation at lunchtime always seems to roll around to our vehicles and I usually slide in my mpg numbers somewhere. It opens up a dialogue and I can try and pass on some insight. Usually it's nothing more than "nut behind the wheel" techniques. Some guys even ask me if I've improved since the last time they asked.
