Sub zero temperatures (-4 to 20* F) average all week. Average HW speed of 65 mph. Lots of stop and go traffic on the interstate during the morning commutes. This tank was filled with Safeway 85 octane. Expecting much better gas mileage as the weather starts warming up. Also need to inflate tires to 37 psi (pressure is low with lower temperatures).

Installed new tires at the beginning of this tank. Firestone Destination A/T tire definitely have more rolling resistance than the stock Dunlops. I could feel the truck labor more when taking off from a stop, or accelerating to pass on the highway. The dealer set the air pressure at ~30 psi. I upped the pressure to ~39 psi and will see if that helps bring the gas mileage back up a bit.
