[SEL] OT - road trip info

[Ed Stoller]

Alec,
9.3 MPG. What are you running? I am getting ready to buy a new truck and am 
expecting 20 MPG with a Cummings and automatic. Am I nuts? I was thinking of 
4x4 but am thinking a 2x4 will get better milage and will be closer to the 
ground to load garden tractors.
