I posted awhile back about how I wasnt happy with my fuel mileage. I did some testing and recorded a bunch of numbers. I just was able to get my 325 60 18 Nitto Terra Grapplers installed last week. As soon as they were installed I went to recalibrating the speedo. My fuel mileage has deffinetly went up with just the switch to all terrain tires. Im hoping it will go up some more after I get my intake and boost fooler put on towards the end of the next week. The truck has 23,450 miles.
--33 12.50 18 Nitto Mud Grapplers
-512 Miles
-31.1 Gallons
-65-70 Mph Average
-60 Psi.
-Shifting 1400-1800 Rpm
=
Average 16.463 Mpg Highway
--325 60 18 Nitto Terra Grapplers
-585 Miles
-31.6 Gallons
-65-70 Mph Average
-60 Psi.
-Shifting 1400-1800 Rpm
=
Average 18.512 Mpg Highway!!!!
Gain of 2.049 Mpg Highway!!!
70 mph = 2000 Rpm
75 mph = 2150 Rpm
I'll post some more results as soon as I get the intake and boost fooler installed.
What are some more ways to squeeze some more mileage out of it. Would stacking it with a Xzillaraider get a little more mpg??
