Fuel mileage

The truck is in kinda rough shape, but it still runs.  The guys at work were laughing because I made a big deal how i had gone 15 months w/o running over and killing a deer. That is the longest I have ever gone since owning the truck in 1998.   Not a good thing!  2 days later on my way to work, BAM, hit her pretty good, knocked her down, but she got back up and sauntered off into the field.  I was only going 35 mph, still in 3rd gear (stick shift) so it wasn't a high speed impact, nevertheless, she did leave some of her fur on the grill and bumper. Oh, and by the way, it doesn't count.  We only count the ones that are "brown and down."
