i just found out...

that my truck's trade in value is better than it was 25-30K miles ago. i love these lower gas prices and higher demand for pickups!!!

i'm not planning on trading it in ever, but it's just nice to know. still hovering just under $20,000, W00T!!!

with a mix of city/highway, i usually average 18.5mpg in the warmer months, it drops a little in winter due to the colder temps and i spend a little bit of time in 4hi. on road trips, i top out at juuuuust under 21mpg.

how the hell have your fuel prices gone down!!!!, having to pay £1.15 a litre over here for the ST205

which i've worked out (might be right) to around £3.79 a gallon which works out to around $6.30 a Gallon!
