Mark, you get 13 mpg around town with a lead foot? That's not too bad considering that I'm now getting just over 14 mpg driving around town like old lady! Damn, I may as well romp on it huh?

We just finished rebuilding a 1991 Dakota 4x4 with economy in mind. This truck has 280,000km on it and routinely got between 12-14mpg with a 318 in it.
After 800km since the rebuild we took it on it's first 'test' run and got just under 25mpg out of it. This is using a Competition Cams torque cam rated at @280hp. This number should improve somewhat yet after 20,000km or so.
