I can so testify, I get about 14mpg unladen in mixed driving in my 02
Superduty Crewcab v10.

What were you doing, 55 the whole way? Towing my trailer/TJ combo (total
almost 6000#) at 65mph nets about 10mpg.
Best I've ever done with it was 18.5 (unloaded of
> course ) highway through Indiana/Illinois.
I could probably do that if I laid off the gas and people flew by me like I
was pacing the Indy 500.

Yep, but no power. No ignition. A nitro burning dragster will finish
the run, maybe even win, if it sneezes and chucks the mags once
launched...but gas engines just poop out and flow raw fuel overboard.
WWII fighters with zoomies it's no big deal. Cars, the fuel goes in the
muffler.

Jesus H! At the rate I'm going, it'd take me another 60 years to get that
kind of mileage on the clock. Woo hoo! Last truck I ever need to buy.

Well, for the rest of us trying to get by with an octane lower than
we should use, we hear pre-ignition at full throttle, which is running
without spark plugs by definition.
