Yeah but your just a freak of nature the way you get the mpgs outta your truck. I am sure the stick helps. I have been in the 19's with mine but I don't drive very nice either. Mixed towing and driving was at 16 last fill up. Even after racing all night and towing the horses around I get 14.

It seems that cummins are better than strokers when it comes to amsoil, but I like the sounds of that. I think I am boing to run Amsoil and try it, maybe just keep a close eye on how much she uses of what she has in her right now, but if I waste a little, oh well. I don't quite have the thing bought yet

BTW, thanks for all of your advice. I can't wait to get out of this stupid PowerChoke Ive been driving for the last year and a half
