Would you like a running mate on your Cross Country trip?? Speaking of which what's your gas mileage? I'm getting just north of 14mpg when cruising...not half bad considering I have 72lb injectors.

I am getting 13-14 with 96lb injectors, we haven't even really worked on that part of the tune yet, we don't even have my torque converter locking up yet.

I will be leaving in Aug for an 8000 mile road trip to our yearly National Denali Truck show in Boston MA, I will drive straight up north into Canada and than drive all the way across Canada than down into the US, on the way back I will stop in New York, Chicago, Washington DC and anywhere else I want to go. Probably 700 gallons of gas at 4.50 will be a little over 3000.00 just for fuel, that is one hell of a break in, plus their will be a track day.
I will post up the dates so any of the northeastern guys that want to go, can. last year we had it here in Calif, I was the host, we had 30 trucks, two from Canada, one from Florida, three from Washington state and a bunch of others.

If you come through Southern Saskatchewan, I think I wanna stand next to the highway and cheer as you go by! But just to warn you, premium gas here is $1.38 a litre, or $5.20 or so a gallon. Yes, it sucks *****. An auxhillary tank wouldn't hurt, you could fill it up before you get to the Great White North. Husky and Mohawk stations have 93 octane ethanol blended gas, and they give CAA points on your purchase, so they MIGHT give AAA points as well, not sure. Anyways, that truck is friggin wicked. Pretty envious you get to drive it 8000 miles.
