Started out at around 19... moved up to between 20-21.... towing bites a bit
at 10-11mpg.... but I'm hauling that bread box and it's been real heavy on
it's trips out to bville...

Brad and I sat down and did the math on economics' of the motor and for me
it's worked out really well because I've driven the snot out of it.... The
second and real up-side is the trade in value is Huge compared to a gas
motor... it brings the truck up almost as much as the up-grade cost.
