I average 15 to 17 in town and 21to 22 on the highway if being conservative.

 

Even when I take it easy, that's when I get the 13.5 mpg... lol.
What did you get before you had the smarty? Did it improve your
mileage at all?

Maybe something is wrong with my rig, bad injectors? I have the 3.73 gearing.
I can't think of anything that would cause my mileage to be so far below yours.

 

yep just cracked 4.09 here and they say this week its gonna go up another 20cents or so. i can't wait to fill up on friday. heck last week 75.00 got me half a tank.

 

maybe a new computer flash? I thought I read a while back of a flash relating to poor mileage ...

 

UGHHH I just went to top off before my trip in the morning and it went up .20 since yesterday!

 

China is a big part of the blame, they are now useing something like 46% more oil then they did just a few years ago. With all the money we send there way they are expanding there country, soon there going to be the new world power.


I want the new Ford feista nice looking compact, 1.4l gets 70-75 mpg on highway and the 1.6l is around 60. Make some bio and call it a day lol. Both engines are diesel and both make enough power to get out of its own way. I belive the 1.4l was around 60 hp and the 1.6 was around 90 so you figure that prob close to 120 and 180 lbs of torque in a car that weights nothing lol.

 

just finished by beater car: a 2000 VW jetta diesel w/5spd, bought it hit in front. been driving it a week and a half 15 mi to work its down to 5/8 tank now now i have a 06 with 1,500 miles sitting in the shed. anyone want to trade a high milage 3rd gen for a near new laramie????? cant see keeping it when it just sits around.

 

with this thought process going on around the country, the media making it seem like you have to drive a honda and get 50 mpg pretty soon this country will look like a typical city in France or Spain or just about anywhere in Europe. Little tiny cars, 50, gazillion of the dam things, zipping around everywhere and your trusted govt officials riding in limos suckin 8 mpg numbers. Keep in mind how much you make an hour... how many miles you drive and what that cost per mile is, not how much it costs to fill up... but how and when you drive. A per mile reimbursement at my company is now .50c a mile. Up from .42c a mile last year. So you don't get 20 mpg, so you only get 10. It isn't about the mileage, it's about the cost per mile and what you get for that mile. My truck takes me back and forth to work, I knock down $2k a week and I can afford it. I don't have to like it, I just don't waste my miles on driving 20 miles for a cup of coffee at the convience store, or driving 10 miles to buy a milk shake and a burger, instead I eat at home or stop on my way home from work. Pack a lunch and don't drive to the fast food stop... there's lots of ways to absorb the cost of a few cents increase. If you contribute to the mania of OMG fuel is topping $4.00 a gallon, you don't help anybody. You think buying a honda or some other import is going to help the american economy? It might help the japanese economy more. Convince your legislators and govt dumb assets to bring jobs back to american instead of job shopping it out to the overseas countries, impose tariffs on that cheap wal mart stuff and watch those countries start changing their consumption of the oil.
Oh well...
I'm done ranting.... it does no good anyway. There's always someone P.O.'d at whatever you say.

 

It just went up to $4.22 here today!

 

well just filled up at 3.99/gal. took $103 to get me to full from alittle under a 1/4 tank. damnit... i hand calculated it, and was around 15 mpg. thats without the smarty. overhead was saying 19 mpg when i pulled into the station. time to start looking for a beater...

 

$4.19-$4.22 a gallon!!!!!!!!! I am paying about $120.00 a week to go to work!! My ship just bought 11,500 gallons the other day and it was around 4.00 a gallon. I don't see how the national economy will pull through this? Diesel was cheaper then gas when I got my truck, now....................???
I don't get good mileage with winter blend (16-18 MPG) but I do alright with the summer stuff (around 24 MPG Highway)

 

$4.15 here in little ol' delaware!!!! something gotta give .....

 

Shes waking up after a 8 month hibernation

 

I just bought a scooter to ride to work...




now running for cover

 

I just drove 2240 miles across the country and saw anywhere from 3.69 to 4.09. Get this though.

Loves truckstop reads on the pump...

We are sorry for the inconvienence but these pumps are limited to 75.00 per fill up. We are doing this to help keep fuel prices low. Please feel free to swipe again after filling.


WTFF is this all about? All it does is twist my crankshaft everytime i see that.
