This truck is normally expected to get
about 12 miles per gallon. On my last tank I got 26.8 mpg.
Most of this gain is due to changing
driving habits. You can gain from 20% to 50% mileage or more in any
vehicle simply by
driving slower and more gently. Driving slower will cause a bigger
improvement (for the same size vehicle) than a hybrid system - and it's
free. Read about this (and my physical truck mods) on my Instructables page:
