Hi Sdcatcher:

___Life and Death struggle of mankind! That’s a keeper

___I wish I had the time to take the Ranger for a 600 + mile back road challenge because it doesn’t have an instantaneous or averaging game gauge for a short fuel economy drive unfortunately. I bet it could achieve 35 - 40 mpg hauling the plywood and shingles in warmer temps however? Maybe I have to invest in that scan gauge someone found for $129.00 or so earlier this month?

___I saw you post the challenge over at Edmunds and look forward to seeing others results.

___Finally, I am waiting for 3 more of your tanks as the Hypermiler list needs a Ford Escape HEV to again contain an entry from every representative Hybrid available. Make sure you notify Jason to work on the 2WD/4WD display in the RHMDB. You might even be able to edit this item yourself?

___Good Luck
