The cold weather's been killing me a bit with mileage. I think right now I'm in the 6-8 range.

EDIT: It posted twice and I have no idea why. I also don't know how to delete a post (if it's possible) so sorry about that.

you can just edit and delete the words and put "double post" or "....."

My dmax is getting a steady 12.5-13.6 w/ warm up and feeding cattle. It used to get better but it's only getting up to bout 150*, I bought new tstats, fan clutch, overflow pressure cap, and temp sensor for Christmas and need to get it put on when they show up.

95 has a serious fuel leak out the ip and oil leak. It's mpg kept dropping and puddles got bigger so it's parked until I can swap the ip.

03 quadrasteer is just what you expect from a 6.0l w/ 4.10s on propane.

HA I see your in NY... Im in WI and I know exactly what your saying. I woke up Monday and went and started the truck and it was -9F... the radio weather guy said it was -20F to -25F wind chill. cant wait till spring... hell i'll take 30!

Ok that's damn cold!!! I won't complain about the weather in the teens anymore.

I went through $40 in gas in 3 days and really didn't go anywhere. I'd be willing to bet the gas is thinned out with ethanol even more than the 10% posted.

My Suburban gets between 9 & 11 MPG. It runs a little rich, I think. Probably something to do with the HyperChip...

Yeah, that's a bit low. I got that driving everywhere in 3rd, back when my trans wasn't working properly.

Last summer I think I only got 10 at best, I never really did much highway driving though seeing as my work was local enough and I tend to have a heavy right foot...

Made a trip from eastern NC to the mountains in TN this weekend to see a friend. I ran between 75 and 80 most of the way there and the elevation climb was about 1100 feet. I got 16.5 going. On the return trip today (downhill), I held it to about 70 all the way and got 18.8. Speed has a major effect, especially on trucks with poor aerodynamics as compared to cars. The uphill/downhill has an effect, but speed is a major killer.
