Yes, it was hand calculated. I also took small state highways, so I spent most of my time at 55 mph. I’m pretty sure we had a strong tailwind that day, too. The trailer wasn’t that full either. The prior two times I made the same trip with the same type of trailer, I got about 15 mpg, but the...

I haven’t finished my most recent tank, and the other two tanks included towing. I did manage about 17 mpg towing a 5x8 U-Haul trailer.

Fair point. Thanks for the clarification.

I had tried 91 a couple of times before and didn't notice a difference. This time, the majority of my 91 tank was while towing, but the two 93 tanks really felt different.

That is good advice. I tried E15 once, but I could neither tell a difference in drivability nor in gas mileage.

I was surprised that Costco was only 40 cents more for 93 octane versus 87. That is about $7 more per tank, and since I only fill up once or twice a month most of the time, I won't even think twice about spending the extra money.

Now that I am a Premium driver, perhaps I shall roll down my window at traffic lights to ask people if they have any Grey Poupon.

I can't wait to hear what you think about it.

Are you planning to install the same tune(s) on your new Tremor?

About a month ago, I needed to do some towing, and my tank was nearly empty. I went to a Casey's nearby and found that they had 93 octane available with 10% Ethanol, so I filled up my tank. I drove around quite a bit before I rented the trailer, and I noticed that the Ranger seemed to really...

I am so sorry to hear about your truck, and I am glad to see that you are okay. It appears that you are buying an Oxford White Tremor. Is that correct?

You are very right about this. And there have been rumors of Apple developing their own car, too. If this happens, I could see all automakers removing CarPlay from their vehicles.

Replacing Sync with a new system is not a big deal to me, even if it is a Google system, but getting rid of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto would be a mistake in my opinion.

OEMs would be better off deleting factory nav in lieu of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but I am sure that part of their interest in keeping nav is working towards self driving vehicles. They want more of a closed system, even though that certainly must get nav data from a 3rd party source, to...

Exactly!

Not that I would ever buy another GM car, but GM deciding to drop Apply CarPlay and Android Auto in favor of developing their own solution with Google is another reason never to buy one. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/heres-why-gm-is-dropping-apple-carplay-164546895.html They cite wanting to...

The other day, I accidentally drove into a much deeper hole than I expected. I got big articulation from the driver's front wheel. I was initially worried that I might have to get out the Matrax or switch into 4 Low, but I was able to ease out of the hole without any damage. . . . . . . . . . ...

SOLD! Thanks, @Sir Slickity

UPDATE: The tonneau cover is still available. I have purchased a new front bed rail gasket since the old one is still on my truck and not really reusable anyway.

Living in North Texas, giant hail is a huge concern. I think I might have told this here before, but back in 2016 we had 2-3" hail. I parked my car in a nearby parking garage, but my son's car took a lot of damage. My wife was on her way back from work and pulled under a bank awning right after...
