I will get slightly less on this particular tank as I was pulled over for driving too close to a construction zone at precisely the speed limit.
E.g. I was about 2 miles out of the construction zone and going 70 in a 70. I think the guy saw me wander toward the edge of my lane and decided to take a gamble I was DUI rather than the fact it was midnight I just might be a little on the tired side.
Let off with a warning (he was sticking with his construction story even though I had just entered the freeway and hadn't passed any orange signs) he did make me go through about 3 tests I couldn't do if I was wide awake at noon. (Stand on one leg until he decides to stop)? Basically as far as I can tell the obstacle course they put you through is just to get the the point where they can have you blow into the tube. Which I did and blew 0.0.
The silver lining: I still had two hour drive home so at least it woke me up a bit.
I'll update the post tomorrow after I check my mpg. I left the car running for 20-30 min. while I was being checked for DUI so my son and mom n law would stay warm. I reset the trip computer after the event
On my way out of town I weighed the truck:
A smidge over the official max but my car can do more since the tire upgrade (my tires go to eleven). I have more than 1000 # more capacity at the tires in the rear which probably equates to 500/600 more load capacity overall.
