Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

Well, I didn't do this today, but I did on Friday and Saturday. Went to the Mid-American Nats in Springfield, MO from West Plains, MO. My wife has MS so I can't stay overnight, have to return home each day. Ladies from the church stayed with her while I was gone. Friday morning miles were 20,381, Friday evening miles were 20,662 for 281 round trip. Saturday morning miles were 20, 662 and Saturday evening miles were 20, 944 for 282 miles round trip. Averaged out at 16.5 miles per gallon running 70 mph. Did have rain both days, but still a good show, heres the odometer pics...Jim

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

I have one Orrie. The tank is under the bed now. I just thought the tag matches the personality of the truck better than the chrome cap. :-)
