Ron,

My 3500 SRW is 3 years right now. I drive it daily to and from work which is a round trip of just under 80 miles. Most of my driving is on 2 lane highway US 20 and State RD 5 in Lagrange County. So, the speed I'm driving is anywhere from 55 to 70. 16 miles of that round trip is on the US 20 by-pass.

What I am getting to is this. This truck now has 61000 miles on it and due to fuel prices, I'm finding that generally when I check mileage the good old fashion way, it gets better. It is right now getting between 19.5 to 21 mpg. It just depends on how much I have to put it in 4X4 to get to work because of all the stinking snow this winter! I think, you're going to discover that as time goes on, it will get better because of breaking in. Most of the time, I'm thinking mine is still breaking in.

You are going to be amazed at how much that SRW will do.
