Thumbs down How many miles to a tank??

With these mods I think my mileage has decreased and the edge definetly hurt I have to run it on the stock setting or I burn fuel like crazy best milage to a tank so far is about 450, is that bad?? That is a combo of Highway and city. My overhead sucks it's always inaccurate. What is everyone else getting with an exhaust system and intake??

No exhaust as of yet, but with the the Bully Dog PP downloader running on the Performance setting, the tone ring mod, and the Bully Dog rapid flow intake, I`m getting about 550-600 miles out of a tank.

Mileage

I can get anywhere from about 475 to almost 650 out of a tank with mine. Haven't got the box on yet but do have one on the way I'll let you know what it does after running a few tanks through it.

Yes, that is bad. My last tank got me 650 miles (I ran it until DTE was at 0). That hand calculated to 20.9 mpg, which is typical for my truck. You should be getting more than 450 miles out of a tank.

I haven't had mine down to empty but the last tank was 360 miles and it was right exactly on the half line. This was about 90% highway. Mine is a 04.5 so I know I'm a very lucky man.

I'm at 375 for this tank and the gauge reads half way between 1/2 and 3/8. From experience this should put me at 600 or slightly more miles for this tank!!

04.5 longbed here and if I am not towing I fill at 600ish miles with just under an 1/8th tank left. Have been getting 19.2 - 19.8mpg but its dropping with the cold coming on, this tank 18.8. Worst non-towing tank 16.2 and that was at 80+ mph. Best ever 20.18 stuck on some 65 roads. Worst towing tank 9.1 with 10K flat front enclosed car trailer at 78-80 mph (I know way to fast for towing, will refrain in the future).

Ya'll must do a lot of highway driving. Most of my driving is urban and I'm lucky to get 400-450 miles before the DIC reports zero DTE's.
