Not a typo. When I'm in the city I always keep my truck in 3rd(keeps converter unlocked). I like driving my truck so it gets driven pretty hard in the city. When I want to I could probably pull 13 or so(3.42s kill my city mileage as well), but that's no fun.

I drive about 10-20 miles a week so a tank of gas even at 6-8 mpg lasts me 2 months unless I leave town.

a few weeks ago all our company trucks where gone out on jobs so i used my truck to do what we usually used them for.. Company took the gas bill too... so i drove around pretty hard all 100% town and i got 12.5mpg.. then i filled her up and drove it really easy and i got 15.5mpg all in town..
Went on a all highway trip to my aunts and i got 23.4mpg out of it.. and thats with 15.5afr cruising and no DFCO..

Id be really happy to get 24mpg out of it and run 12s...

14.5 city and 18 hwy (going btwn 70 and 75, slight hills). Used to get 12.5 city and 15.8 hwy (going 65 the whole way!) a couple of weeks ago, but then I changed plugs and wires and got a Wheatley 93 street tune to replace my POS wait4me tune.
