I was just taking a short break from other reading, so it's o.k.

What's your gas mileage looking like?


bear in mind that diesels take a long time to wear in and mileage gets
better as they do .... ( this is called optimism ;-)

So far, I'm getting just about the same as the old truck ... but with twice
the power and 15 times the comfort and 'class' G ....um, and infinite
times the
monthy payment ... I hope for
slightly better than the old rig, after break-in

figures? I haven't driven enough to provide anything but a guess, but thus
far about 16 all round ( mostly short trips in town ) and probably around 20
+ going down the highway ( never really done this, but was over 19 on back
roads with stops every couple miles ) .... probably 11 towing a 25 foot toy
box trailer ( the little meter showed 9.7 today but I was intentionally drag
racing from stops and stopping on steep hills just to start again, etc.
