Did this one day. Best feeling ever.

Best feeling ever, huh? I guess it's the little things that matter when you're paying three bucks a gallon.

Didn't say it was recent. This was several years ago.Best feeling ever, huh? I guess it's the little things that matter when you're paying three bucks a gallon.

Depends on how you define city/highway.
I would say Mostly city as most of my driving is under 55mph

So last night it was time to refuel the truck. The Tech2 said the tank was at 13% and pumped in 24+ gallons of E85 and it said 98%. Tried to get to 100% but the pump kept clicking. Hopped on the highway to check alcohol content (it is now 62%) and the tank capacity showed 85% while moving. Going up hill or down hill or stopped the tank shows full, 98%. But underway on a flat surface is read 85%. I've always wanted to refuel while moving like the fighter jets, now I have a good excuse, another 4 gallons of fuel in my tank!
Anyway, 13% is 4 gallons. Pumped in 24.77 gallons so that's 28.8 gallons. That's technically 92% capacity now. Still room for 2 gallons if it weren't for all that emissions crap. More useless information!

Out here in the sticks it is defined as driving in the city, stop and go, as opposed to highway driving at speed. To me, there is a difference in driving on the freeways of Dallas as opposed to fhe painful stop and go of Austin. Obviously fuel economy suffers more with stop and go. If your typical tank is mixed highway and stop and go, that is pretry good fuel economy.
I have a 2500HD 4wd with the 6.0 and 4:10 gears, and it does ok on the highway though it spends most of it's life going slow. I wanted a 2500 suburban but i have been leaning away because of the fuel economy. Your experience is appreciated, it helps.

What does that have to do with anything? $3/gallon for gas sucks regardless if it was several years ago or this afternoon.
when mine is a hair above the E it usually takes 27... gallons, premium was $2.95 at Costco just this evening about the best price on this side of town, good o'l Governor Brown bumped us up .20 cents a gallon in NOV for "road maintenance" tax and added an extra $80 to everyone's registration

Governor "Moonbeam" Brown, piece of work that guy.
There's a Mobil nearby at $2.86 a gallon for 93 but most of the top tier stations are just over $3. E85 is down to $1.93 around here and I'm going to stick with that for a while; the motor loves it.

this whole state is screwy, I don't know what happened California used to be normal a long time ago, wish I could get the hell out of here but I have good resources where I am that I probably wouldn't find anywhere else.
