Venting....
Okay, I need to vent a little...This is in no way pointed to anyone on this board, but to society as a whole.
This whole gas mileage thing is about to drive me insane! People go and buy a huge SUV or truck to haul their family around and then proceed to complain about bad gas mileage. Listen, you get a choice...either you can have a lot of power to haul big loads or you can have a little power and get great gas mileage, but not both. In order to get more power, you have to consume more gas. It is crazy that people buy a Ford Excursion, load the 2 kids, a dog, all their luggage, and then hook on their 25' boat and then are upset when they don't get 30 MPG?!?!? I have no problems with SUV's and large trucks, as I have owned several of each, but just don't complain when you have to stop at the pump more often than a Honda Civic.
Sorry, had to rant..
Diamond Dog, have you looked into one of those Tornado fuel saver things? I have heard that they help a little.
