Gas mileage revisited
I have posted in some of the previous threads about gas mileage so I just thought I would post an update on some of my experience with mileage. Previously I said I was getting right around 15 mpg. My worst was 12.7 and my best was 15.5 around town. My best on the highway was 17.2 or something close to that.
On a recent move, I pulled a U-Haul 5x8 trailer from Central CA to Southern TX and averaged 15.5 pulling the trailer. Once I dropped the trailer and drove from Southern TX to North GA without the trailer, I averaged 19.2 mpg! Best I have ever gotten. While driving around in the Southeastern US for the past month I have had an average of 18.343 mpg with around town driving.
Is it possible that the gas they sell down here is somehow different? I can't explain the difference in mileage. I drive the same. My truck is the same. I'm definitely not complaining but I just wonder what the difference is.

it might be the air, I have noticed this also, I took a trip to washington DC, about 6hours away, and when I fueled up down there it seemed to last the two weeks, but I guess we will never know, I also tried pure acetone in the tank because I knew it was going to burn out anyways, no kidding aside I got 22mpg on the highway, I'm sure someone will say pure acetone is bad and all this good stuff, but it is a hummer and I got the extended warranty just in case....
