Just to tag on... I'm currently on a thousand mile trip, with 6 adults (I have the 7 passenger seating) and a roof top carrier. For my first fill, after sustained speeds over 80mph, the truck returned 14.37. I've been averaging 17.36. For those who don't know...the dashboard mpg readout is...

Sirius It's not that difficult. The first thing to do, is determine how old your Sirius unit is. If you have a power wire that goes straight to from the unit to a standard looking cigarette plug, it's pretty straightforward. This is how the older models are (i.e. 3 years or older). You can...
