On the way down to Myrtle Beach the truck averaged 16.8 overall.

On Marks tip we drove the truck in the sport mode with it in 6th gear to help eliminate the truck downshifting as much.

When we left Myrtle Beach the truck was getting around 18.8 mpg. As we got into the mountains going towards Asheville it dropped down to 17.8. Driving thru Kentucky the average went back up to 18.2. A stop in Ohio for gas and a few 0 to 60 or so runs the average dropped back to 18 mpg. As we go into flatter areas the average began to go way back up with an ending average of 18.5 mpg.

The truck with the s/c at highway speeds just pulls and pulls and goes from 60 to 90 in seconds.

I will have to see how it does with in town driving but that will be very hard to keep my foot out of it at every traffic light

That's nice to hear that the fuel economy didn't suffer during cruising.

Is there anyway I can convince you to take your camera outside right now and record a couple of speedo shots for 0-60, 40-80, etc.??? Maybe even take it to the track this weekend? All of the other videos that have been posted don't give us a good perspective to compare to...
