Fuel Mileage with TC

Yahoo! On the last trip we got 14.8 MPG! Oh man, it was so easy pulling into Wally World to buy my bicycle a light. We were not dragging boat nor bike trailer. If my mind serves me right we got a little over 11 when we took the boat on a previous trip. We shall find out real soon about the bike trailer as we will be towing it on a trip. We enjoyed our fiver but downsizing to the TC has been a good move for us.

    I sure wish I could claim that kind of fuel mileage. Unfortunately I have a Ford 7.5L engine in my truck. I am used to getting anywhere from 7.5 to 9 MPG depending on conditions. Keep me informed on your fuel mileage, I may be switching to a diesel sooner than later.

    ...and that was on paper NOT the fuel readout. Our average speed was about 60mph, no hurry and no worries. LOL!
