Auto or manual?  Is it geared right for 35"s?  I've got a '91 xcab with a 3.0 (240K or so) 5 speed, 5.29s, and 35" tires, plus sliders, spare in the bed, full toolbox, etc. and I get 17-18 consistently.  I don't drive like a granny, nor do I drive like I stole it either (only on the rocks  :hammer: ) 

I'd say a tuneup may be in the works, or even ask him if he's ever really calculated it.  :thumbs:  I hit my trip meter every time I fill up, and then the next time I fuel up, divide the amount of miles by the fuel I just put it.  Not 100% accurate, but good enough for me.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
