While driving around today I was trying to zero my odometer just after refueling.
While doing so I noticed the idiot transmission shifter indicator above the steering column. The indicator showed I was in "4" vs "D".
So, I moved the shift lever to the right side of the "D" position. That's right, my tach showed a drop of about 500 RPM.
Bottom line: Since getting this truck I've been driving it in fourth all the time. I'm not particularly stupid most of the time but I sure had a major brain f#*@ over this issue. Heck, I even read the manual.
As lame as it sounds, anyone getting poor fuel economy out there shoud make sure they are not pulling the idiotic trick I pulled.
The only good part is that the truck has only 1240 miles on it with about 400 highway miles.
Duh!!!
