I've only used half a tank of gas, in the 92 Explorer I would have had to fill it up by now. But I will say this it has a large gas tank because it cost me $65 USD to fill it up after driving off the lot. If I dont drive alot, I can see me filling up every other week or every week and a half. I live less than 10 minutes from work so gas isn't really going to kill me unless I drive long distances such as from here to Little Rock or Ft. Smith - which I dont do often anyway.
But I am EXCITED!!!
FC - are you going to Yell Fest this year? If so you and TJ should come down, I plan on taking my DD and you can come see the truck!

Then you're good to go.
One thing you have to remember, you might end up doing a lot of errands so you will have to drive it a lot, everyone does that once in a while. I drive 36 miles round trip commuting to work 6 days a week. That is about 216 miles a week so I must have a good fuel economy car for that. My car gets 30-33 mpg depending on traffic, speed, weather, etc.
