Is yours a 4x4? Quad cab? Extended cab? I have basically the same truck - 98 Dakota V6 Magnum, regular cab 4x2. I average 17-20MPG overall.

Wait... wasn't this thread about scrap addiction or did I miss the context of this message?

It's 2X4 extended cab. Most are 6000GW. Mine is 10000. Heavy duty frame. Made to pull heavy payloads.

I also scrap dogfood cans. Like 24 or more a day. My mother in law rescues dogs, and when we feed,(usually me and/or my wife) the cans are put into 250 gallon water tubs with tops cut off. When they get full, we back up and load them in the truck. Sometimes we crush them, if we don't have anything heavy. It usually just pays the gas, but it keeps them out of the ground, and keeps her mom from paying extra trash

I can't walk by a trash can and not look in, I see a penny I only pick it up if it looks like a 84 or older, I might forget to grab the keys but never the magnet, royobi is a name brand, and almost everything I see I start analysing what's in it

No I am not addicted.
