Here goes...211 miles, 7.60 gallons....drum roll.....27.82 mpg!!!!

Not bad for 'a smoke blowing ol rig'... I usually check it over a full tank, but this was 2 trips to work and a couple to school. Figured goin to the strip tomorrow would hurt it. Most of this was driving at 70mph. One way to work is 50 miles, 5 in city, 3 stop lights, 5 stop signs...plus I blew smoke and dusted 2 people who aggravated me. So this wasnt strictly highway. Hopefully one of these days ( maybe sunday) I will be able to take her out on the interstate and cruise at 70, just see what kinda mileage I can rack up.

Anyone else got some mileage bragging rights, or care to argue that mine arent???

 

NICE

 

Exactly why I want to try 3.07's. I had a 91.5 D250 5 sp w/ 3.54's that got 23.8 one time, always got 20+

 

I average 20, used to rather. Now it seems Im finally able to control the skinny pedal a little better. 100 mile round trip to work and $3.10 a gallon diesel, I need all the help I can get.

 

Average 18.4 with 3.07 auto. CAN"T control the skinny it's to heavy .

 

Youre doing better than I did. With 3.07 auto, I averaged high 17s,as low as 15. College town= too many challenges. Best I saw was in my unmodded rig was 21.5 on the highway. Smoked that record now lol.

 

auto + 3.54 gears == 16 - 17 around indy. (in a 4x4)

 

4X4 Dually, 90 gallon transfer tank on the flat bed, 4.10s 5 speed, about 13 on the highway.

 

very nice mileage,I'm having to much fun techin and testin my truck so my right foot rarely comes off the floor...but I'm probably same as Rampage1967

 

Right on Randy! With my auto, and 4.10's I can get (if I'm good) about 21mpg.

 

For a while i was driving practically from state line to state line in Louisiana on I-20 (women!) Doing 80 the whole trip except in One town that slows to 60. Never got below 20. Usually 21 and some change. If i take it easy on her she gets 23-25. 3.5s and 5 speed. 235/85/16.

 

On the way to baytown we ran about 75 the whole way and got 26.3 in the miled up ol rig. I was ecstatic. 27 in town Randy thats magazine artical material.

i figure im getting 15-17 in town and 18-20 on the road, i have a couple more goodies i want in it that might help, this is with an a518 3,54 gears with a 4x4 and 285/75/16 all terrians, im happy!

 

As I said in that text message earlier....I hate you, Randy =D
