Last month (normal driving): $1,149 on gas

This month (55mph max, easy driving): $585 on gas.

Driving slow sucks, but with $500 in my pocket now i think ill pick up some high end off road lights =)

DRTY and I travelled to Moab in 18 hours.

I spent over $7000US in gas for one way.

did you get lost??? sounds like alot of gas...at 4.00 a gallon thats 1,750 gallons...if you averaged 6 mpg thats 10,500 miles one way.....

somebody was stealing it along the way.

yeup, sure sounds like it!!

You can drive slower and get good mileage, that is agreeable. Or you can tune your pcm to make better mileage... im in the process of getting my tunning software to work this out.

I know there is mileage "left on the table", we'll just see how much i can get out of it.

By using cruise control and taking ti eacy on the highways this week I got right at 300 miles from a full tank, I filled it up and it took 28 gallons. The meter shows an average of 12.3mpg and I admit the last few days I have been driving pretty hard in the city, not much highway cruising.

I am more concerned about "range" than with the price of gas or fuel effeciency. After this week I feel much better knowing that taking it easier on the highway can make a MAJOR difference.

Cruise Control is a gas saver for me.
