I saw a huge jacked up diesel truck that ran the quarter mile in something like 10-12 seconds. What dropped my jaw was that the truck also managed "20 plus MPG".

I never, never would have thought a truck could be so fast and fuel efficient at the same time.

I would believe 25-30 MPG with your buddies truck ...TOPS !

Now the disclaimer : The truck that I was talking about was in DieselPower magazine, so it was probably stretching the truth on the MPG figures ( How could you prove it anyways ? )
