I love it when I hear the "xxx miles per tank of gas." I ask them how they figure their gas mileage and their response is that they determine this by when the low fuel light comes on.

I have always kept track of my fuel economy since the day I drove my truck off the lot. I have to agree with you that there is nothing wrong with trying to get better fuel economy from our trucks. I get tired of the "if you wanted better fuel economy you should have bought a Prius" retort as it is just such bunk. The response to this should be;

• If you wanted a lifted truck you should have bought Bigfoot
• If you wanted more horsepower you should have bought muscle car
• If you wanted better towing you should have bought a semi
• If you wanted to go faster you should have bought a top fuel dragster
• If you wanted a better stereo system you should have bought a rock band
• If you you wanted a louder exhaust you should have bought a beater
• If you wanted a reliable truck you should have bought a Toyota - oh wait, you did.
