OUCH. Need to get the bicycles out once the weather cools off.

The boss now wants our guys to carpool up to the job outside of err uhh WTF town is that...Livingston in Co. trucks. LOL. But leave their trucks on the job site. Now that makes since. Wonder how long until they start getting stolen and vandalized...

We are running 4 trucks 180 miles round trip (guestimate) per day 4x wk. Getting probably upper teens. My guestimate is $425/wk in fuel (@17MPG). And those guys have heavy feet.

After the move[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] we'll be closer to everything, so mileage will definately drop[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Exactly, remind him of what occured up here[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Didn't you guys take a few good hits?

Time to put limiters on the trucks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] But 17 mpg isn't bad for work trucks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Yeah. Had to replace all of the glass in The Beater ('88 F-150).

LMFAO. That would go over as well as me at a <insert religion> convention. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I'm guessing 17 based on my not-the-best highway mileage. The boss tells everyone 20. LOL. I think EPA is like 19 for my truck, which is lighter (short bed, everything else is long bed) and newer. Plus the other trucks have ladder racks (slight wind resistance + weight).

Still that is great mileage[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Are you getting 19 out of your truck?

I'm getting 19 on the highway. At least to Pismo and back. Very little city driving on that tank. Drove about hmmm 7 miles here getting on the highway, then off of 101 on 1 and down Dolliver to Pier Ave and down to Pole 6. Left there went to McDs on the way home on Grand, then back down Dolliver through Pismo and go on at Price or whatever it is passed the Mobile One.

Purely around town I get about 13.5.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Most tanks are in the 14-15 range if I get on the highway.

I've only actually had a couple tanks that were over 90% highway and both of those were 19MPG tanks (last Pismo trip and a trip up to Tracy a few months ago when all hell was breaking loose.)
