Wait a minute! The guy isn't frustrated at only getting 11 mpg in a pickup truck, when the average Hellcat still gets roughly 20 mpg, depending on how it's driven?!

Back in 1996, my mom and I drove from Mauston, WI out to someplace in eastern Kansas. We had a 1986 Dodge Ram D100 pickup, with a 318 motor. The engine had a carburetor, not fuel injection. We drove interstate most of the way there. I later calculated our fuel mileage to be 15 mpg on that trip. That was with a mid 80s pickup, with a V8 in it. And in addition, consider a semi truck. Fully loaded at 80k pounds, they still get around 7 mpg. So if this guy is only getting 11 mpg in his brand new Tacoma, there's a serious problem with that engine, NOT the tank size.
