Were you talking about just crew cabs? ;)

I get about 2 gallons per 1/4 mile while at the strip.
I'm not real sure what my city mileage is , but it usually takes five gallons to make a run to town and back.

Funny!

BTW, I think someone said there is two kits for our trucks. So I guess you might get two different MPG answers.

It's not so funny when the gas I'm running costs $5 a gallon :shock:
