Just filled the truck up after the trip. From MD back home driving pretty briskly and still managed 14.5 MPG in a 1 ton.

Now I'm curious what mileage it'll get at a more relaxed pace, without any interstate driving.

Also took a good quart of oil for the entire trip to homecoming and back, mostly leaked, don't think it burns much or any.

Using the truck yesterday to fetch big coolers full of ice and today to haul ice cream maker. About to make 4.5 gallons each of Mint chocolate chip, my favorite, and coffee.
