Anyone driving a Silverado or Sierra? Just cleared 22mpg my last tank but looking to add more, and wondering if anyone has tips. Since you're not really supposed to FAS (though I still do the last 0.2mi to my house), it seems kind of tough to squeeze more mpg here and there.

I tried this .... no problem. Pickups are heavy. Lots of patience required with coasting out the momentum too. Tire pressure increase really works on pickups ... but your averaging 22mpg is already above EPA ... good work

The hybrid pickup (the lead-acid batteries behind the seat) lent itself real well to FASing on the test-drive. I got to thinking 40mpg was attainable at one point ... managed to get in the tire pressure increase during those two hours.
