750-800 miles per tank on factory tank that's excellent!...how many mpg do you normally get (hand calculated)?

Even when I fill up it's only like 28 gal and not 35 like the tank is supposed to hold. Last night I filled up and hand calculated I got 426.1 miles to 20.55 gal which is 20.73 mpg...I filled up with a 1/4 tank remaining as indicated by my fuel gauge. This was mixed hwy and around town with stock wheels/tires...had smarty at L3 for about 240 of those miles and L9 for the remaining 186 miles.

 

since i dont have a fuel level gauge its all by when the pump stops first. last i filled up it was 23 mpg and that was with no boost gauge. so i kept boost below 10 psi all the time and slow shifting, minus some hotrodding on fat tuesdy up here in phiily and i got 730 on the gauge now. im going to fill up in jersey where it $3.00 a gal. ill post what i got

 

Found this on racing junk: http://www.racingjunk.com/post/1032455

There is a video of it doing a burn out. Sounds like a jet spooling up, even a little afterburrner in the tailpipe.

 

That should work, syn can handle the colder temps much better then dyno-oil.

 

hey travis i had 17K behind my truck saturday.

 

Thats it, we still had 3k before you were even at the GVW then. I still got more rocks, give me a call and we should be able to load more this week if you want, not tonight though, I am on my way home for the day today.

 

anyone know if a 01 short bed is the same size as my 05?

 

yeah probably next satruday, we also broke one board on the first rock. oops

 

They are different, the 01 is a second gen and the 05 is a third gen. As far as I know nothing will interchange between the two of them.

 

hey Bobby here's a truck for you.

Truck ran fine on the way home tonight. No noise. I'm still gonna change the fluid when the Cave is available.

 

That looks like a good replacement for the S10

 

Scott, you know i couldnt own a "built" truck, it would be the same. soo im filling up and the fuel gauge starts reading almost a 1/4 than starts jumping than drops off, got my hopes up. could it be 13 years of junk or is something broke. the good thing is i had only put 10 gals in it and it was reading a 1/4. the pumped stopped a 28 gals, then i put 3 more in to reach almost all the way the filler neck. 688/28 24.5mpg

 

the guy did say it would except trades and he wants to build a drag truck, so ill trade him my 95' and my raptor.
