WORST 4.0 mileage
Always see these threads "I get crappy mileage out of my 4.0", and it gave me an idea.
2 tanks of fuel ago, during a nasty snowstorm, I decided it would be appropriate to go climb the steepest hill I can climb around here. So I fill up on relatively cheap fuel and hit the slopes. Getting to the end of that trail, and during the ensuing playing that night and the next day; I used 3/4 of a tank of fuel in only 174km.
Roughly 8.5mpg over almost 50liters of fuel. Take that al!

I bet you I can do better than that. I'll go outside and start my truck and let it idle until it dies. 0.0 MPG! Beat that!

Got 13mpg a few weeks ago. It was after a huge snowstorm, and i was in stopped traffic for a while because cars were getting stuck in intersecions and stuff. But because I was in 4x4 and the tires were spinning a lot i dont know how accurate it was.
This thread seems to be going the way of what you normally get. Most of us get between 12 and 16 city and 16 - 18 highway with winter fuel. Thats a given.
The topic is, whats the worst you have done to a tank of fuel. ie using the truck not as a commuting vehicle.
I guess i will elaborate on my 7mpg. 6 plus inches of snow pulling random people out and just plane old driving around.
