I get about 19-20 around town, haven't had it on trip yet but the guy I bought it from said he averaged around 20. Still stock, waiting for more money to do minor bombing.

Re:MPG - Not Modified: UNBOMBED!

Since I bought my rig back in May, I’ve been driving it like I STOLE IT! To date I am getting around 17 MPG consistently. I drive about 75% highway as often as I can at 80+ mph. Oh yeah I am still stock, for the near future.

Re:MPG - Not Modified: UNBOMBED!

When truck was stock i got 20-21 on the freeway, 16-18 around town. since i put the bigger compresser housing i've lost a couple miles per gallon off each... not to happy about it, but thats the price you pay i guess.

had an edge ez on it for a little bit and it does throw off the mpg calculator. it was telling me i was averaging like 22 or better on a tank. i'd like to know what its doing to throw that off if somebody knows.

Re:MPG - Not Modified: UNBOMBED!

Only chance I've had to measure "all interstate" was between Columbus, Ohio and Gatlinburg Tenn.. On BP Supreme @ 70 mph (1900 -1950 rpms) I measured 20.6 mpg, coming back home on Texaco at 65 mph I measured 19.8 mpg. Around home I usually get around 17 to 18.5 mpg avg. I sure cant complain.

Re:MPG - Not Modified: UNBOMBED!

I GET...CHECK THIS.....420 MILES TO A GALLON!!!!! That is when gallon is loosely defined as a tank..... Apx 15.2 mpg. That is 33" tires with a box. Doesn't matter if I ran the Bully or the Edge....still the same......BUT not to bad considering that my old '86 with a 4.9L I-6 (Gas) and same running gear got me 8mpg!!!!! The old Dodge will run circles around it as well....LOADED!!!!!!!!!! MAN i love Cummins. ;D
