5.9 Mag 2500 on the interstate, 13.8mpg, cruise control on. I was amazed at how it sucked down the gas.

Does he really need a truck? I mean really. A 4000 - 6000 lb vehicle for carrying around one to three people doesn't make sense. When my '64Dog ate a rod bearing, my fault, I parked it and got into a 2007 Hyundai for less than $4000. They're anvils, they don't need much maintenance and I get 26mpg around town and 31 on the highway at mostly 80mph. It's twice as easy to drive. Tires cost half as much. It'll go 200K miles easily, I got it at 97K.

Best of all, I can afford to go places now. It's hard to say how much that gas bill weighs you down until you cut it in half.
