Skeeter,
I am not sure what you mean by hyper mile techniques. I would like to read more. Because I am able to get 20+ miles per gallon with my full size chevy with a 350, I am not surprised to read that someone is getting 30 mpg with one of the little 4 cylinder truck motors. The are many 4 cylinder motors used by a variety of vehicle makers in the 2.+ liter range. Volvo settled on a motor this size many years ago and it served them well because they are the automobile with the best reputation for longevity. A typical automobile is good for 10 years whereas the typical Volvo has been good for 20 years, even better than Mercedes. Their little 4 cylinder engine is almost bullet proof, without the turbo, of course.
Most of the companies have a model that uses a 4 cylinder in this size range. I think these little motors have a great future in little trucks with little campers.
So, Skeeter, tell us more about what you are doing with your rig to get such good mileage.
