Glad we didn't go fishing. Thought hard about it last night and decided to go then watching the news/weather later on changed my mind. Between the winds and cooler temps would of been dam cold out there on that lake. Madi would of been hating life.
Instead we drove out to Primm this afternoon for something to do. Wanted to put a few miles on it and figured why not Primm. Easy one if I wanted the wife to go. Just say do you want to go and get some Lotto tickets and she was is in the truck before me. lol
16.8mpg overall with todays winds going 75 (2000rpms) through town and 80 (2100rpms) on the fwy. Only way I am getting any better gas mileage is driving slower. 3.73 gearing will be great for towing but will ding one just a little bit cruising emtpy. 3.55 gears would be a better choice if one drove a lot empty (betting a 400-500rpm drop at 75-80). I'll more than likely put more miles on it with the trailer behind it since my daily driving isn't much at all. Most of the miles I drive is with the boat verse without. 65-70 the fuel economy goes up fast.
