21.8 Mpg!!!!

We got 21.8 mpg mixed city/highway driving out of the 93 !! sweetness. speedo and odo are dead on BTW. i think it gets better mpg with me driving so maybe next tank i'll drive it more and get 22? Definely ain't getting 22 with my ole' man driving

We run B5 bio-diesel from the local aamco.
mods are in sig.

this is the kinda crap we do and get 21.8 mpg

get that engine breathing better and a new set of injectors and you'll see a couple more mpg.

mixed 21.8 is still very good!

Good number. I hope to be about the same with the timing spacer and cruising on the highway a little above 2,000RPM.

If you drive slow enough, they'll do the numbers! With my Gear Vendors, I get 24mpg at 65-70mph

I was kind of bumed today, I made 15mpg . That's the worst I've ever done, I useully get 17-19. I think it has to do with the hot weather latelly. And driveing down the highway at 70 with about 700 pounds on the bed.

And my Hot air intake!

If you bump the throttle before you shift it won't grind!

We do that.

it grinds on downshift into 2nd, upshift into 2nd. It grinds 2nd period.

You can be dead still at a red light and go from N to 2nd and it'll make a little grind sound.

The rest are good though and it shifts smooooth.
