  Diesel just brok over $5/gallon ($5.02) I noticed yesterday. 
Haven't looked at gas prices lately.  It's been about $.80 below 
diesel.
  Run your tire pressures at max listed on the tire.  I was getting 
about 35mpg on the pickup and had one tire in the mid 30's, the 
rest were at 45psi.  Brought it up and got a little over 40mpg the 
next tank.  :-)
  Keep your pressures up, filters clean, drive relatively easy, have 
good injectors and put in a 5 speed or a turbo. :-)
