Then I went and hooked a 1972 Holiday Rambler to the back and drug it to my house... I got 7.7 MPG with the cruise set around 70 on the way home... OUCH...

I'm guessing this old beast weighs in around 6K or so...

well, people staying in a trailer is only so interesting... a dog staying ina trailer is funnier! :)
We still talk about that trip because Maggies experience with the cows was so funny... she started barking at the cows and then all the cows came over to see what was up and he went and hid behind me like "oh they get a lot bigger when they are right up close, save me!" :)

I'm still not sure that Courtney will see it that way... But maybe...

Damn dude! Thats worse than my F250! This last tank I managed to squeeze 12.48MPG out of, the one prior to that was 11.2... and I was putting my foot in it a little more than normal for that one

Tara can get 11mpg out of the truck, but I'm to heavy footed... I usually get about 10 when I'm not towing...

I'm surprised, since I bought the F250 I've been feathering it a lot. The Ranger I drove hard. Every so often though, I'll get on the 250 and open her up.... and watch the gas gauge drop

Thats about right with the v10. I get at best 8mpg when pulling a trailer. 12-14 with out.
