[Dave Rotigel]

Hi Alec,
         With about the same load and at about the same speed (except when 
I'm following Arnie--at which time we seldom run under 80 mph) I'm getting 
around 17/18 mpg with my 250 Powerstroke. I got 19/20 when it was newer, 
but it now has 183,472.7 miles on it, and like me is getting a bit tired.
         It's only right, however, that I get better mileage than do you. 
After all, you are a rich stock broker/investment specialist and I'm now on 
welfare which is supplemented by my wife's meager salary!
         Dave
PS, 2,100rpms at 70 mph!
