No crazy hair up to drive that far. I've got to do some Air Force training, and I wanted to put all my hard work to good use, so I drove the truck. It's definitely thirsty, and it being a relatively-new engine, I'm not sure if I can get much better mileage unless I: A) slow down (not going to happen), or B) go with an overdrive tranny.

And yes, it did feel good to drive that far in that truck!
