BBB, do you have reason to believe these same people can do the math required to calculate gas mileage?

I don't know how many people start telling me their gas mileage according to "1/2 a tank" or "1/4 tank" or whatever.

It's simple to calculate miles per gallon, but so many people seem to think it's "trips into town" to the "half a tank."

Yes, they can do basic math. A buddy of mine asked me a while back if I had heard anything about them, he had just bought a F-150 and had a friend that claimed to get better gas mileage with the tornadoe deal. I laughed at him for even thinking about it, and he ended up trying it and saying that he does actually get noticeably better mileage. As I said though, if someone is looking for increased performance, forget about it, but if you can get a little better fuel economy on a full sized truck, why not?
