What did you do to your truck today!

Took my wife's c20 out to drop off old concrete and pick up new topsoil. Round trip 103 miles. Loaded 850 pounds of old sidewalk to the dump and loaded 1860 of topsoil back from the gravel pit. Drove 60 mph empty and 50 mph loaded and I had to buy 6.5 gallons of gas. Straight six, tall tires and 5.13 gears made easy work of the day and if you do the math on the gas mileage I think some of you will want to call me. I wouldn't believe it myself if I hadn't been there.

4 speed? That is close to 16 MPG.
I get 9-10 MPG with my 350 and 4.10s. Uphill, downhill, loaded, unloaded, doesn't seem to make a difference.

When I just cruise around nice with my 71/4x4 with 35's and 3.73 gears over 500hp and a 4spd manual I average about 10mpg, but not so much given er.
