So today I took the red truck for a little drive and put about 140 miles on her. I checked the mileage and it was 12.5 mpg, but that includes a lot of idling and short trips while tweaking the transmission tune. On my trip today most of the driving was at 75-80 mph. I'm sure the mileage will go up some after I fix the problem with the 3rd to 4th gear shift. I have to say that I got a lot of thumbs up from drivers in the two little towns that I went through.
