One great way to increase MPG is with lighter wheels! Unsprung weight, has about a 10:1 effect vs static weight meaning for every pound you shave off each wheel, it's the equivalent of shaving 40 pounds off of the truck. Vorsteiner has it's roots in performance wheels for some of the fastest street cars on the planet, and has taken those design lessons to your truck with our VR-601BL and other models. Our Flow-Forging process allows us to design some of the lightest truck wheels on the market while still being tough enough to hit the trail!

How many of ya'lls pumps do you have to do the "double pump" for a full tank? Its like a lottery around here, some pumps you can put 120+ bucks worth in and some stop at 75/100 bucks.
You can always do the double pump where you get the other side of the pulp ready while the first is going and switch to that nozzle when the first is done.

Depends on the station, they like to blame the credit card companies as setting a limit but I‘ve pumped $150 at some so it’s obviously not the cc.

yes, it is the station and not the credit cards. Local HEB’s set a cap at 175 IIRC #FJB.
that’s a triple digit fill up at 1/4 tank or less or half tank and having to fill the cans for other appliances.

head to other locations and I’ve seen as low as a 100 dollar cut off.

Either Ford corporate knows something they haven’t revealed yet, or they’re on the path to financial ruin and bankruptcy. Why do you thing Raptor & R are so expensive and took such huge price increases? Everything Ford sells is subsidizing their EV division and it’s not even going to turn a profit until something like 2028(? I don’t remember where I saw it). Can they stay in business that long on this model?

Now, maybe Ford has some inside dirt on the “next big thing” in batteries or power development and efficiency, but it sure looks like they’ve gone all in with a 2 of clubs and 8 of diamonds showing.
Check out his video on this subject. He explains why this strike actually  helps the manufacturers.
