Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see Why would I lie? 25mpg is the best my truck has done, but it did do it. My "around town" is near perfect conditions, a farm town with few stoplights and lots of 45-50mph roads. I get worse on the highway than I do around town, due to spinning faster than she likes (3.55 gears). I would be more than willing to prove it to you, but you are most likely never going to be close enough, or willing enough to do a fair test. I don't see why the numbers are so hard to fathom. To shine a different light on it, my semi is a 2001 western star sleeper truck, 3.90 gears, overdrive 15spd, 500hp 12.7l Detroit 60 series. Loaded light (under 60,000) running 65mph and 1650rpm she averages 6.8 mpg. Very commonly accepted number, not out of normal ranges at all. She weighs 8 times what my pickup weighs, is much less aerodynamic, makes 2.8 times the hp, 3.6 times the torque, and yet you think the empty pickup getting 3.16 times better mileage (21.5 vs 6.8, not all time best for either rig) is unlikely and against the rules of physics?

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
