Oh, and I only got 8 mpg coming up through Kansas.
Wow, now that's the kind of story I was looiing for. You're bold GoBuX. eek Is your truck a manual? There weren't really any major downhills were there?[/b]
Yep... it's a manual. I guess you could say there were no major downhills. I mean, there were plenty of hills, but after living in Denver for the past 2.5 years and driving in the mountains almost every weekend, your perception of a hill kind of changes.

And, I tried to miss all of the rush hours in between. Caught St. Louis at rush hour and it was an absolute bitch!
