Forgive me if im wrong here but...I get about 500 a tank, on the overhead, with 37's. If the mileage is calculated the same way speed is and Im pretty sure it is, the miles needs to be RE-calculated with the percent the tires are bigger (In my case its like 1.13) I know my GPS shows an extra mile every 10 vs the odometer. and at 55 indicated GPS says 65.

went to ts back in may, didnt keep full track but filled up, and when i got there, i had half a tank still after a 377 mile trip, but rode around on that for the rest of the week went and filled up before i left but hand calculated between the track, open house, the pulls, and riding around was 18mpg in the city

I usually fill up at 1/4 tank, and that's always close to 450 miles with a mix of city & Highway. I see no reason why you couldn't get 700 miles under the right driving conditions, but I would never run mine that low.

I have a Quad X2, 4" hole bottom airbox, muffler delete, and 285/75 Toyo Ats with the ecm reprogramed for that size. All my mods were done more for mileage, not performance. Highway miles are great with the larger tires, but drops down if it's all local driving.

I could see this when i had my stock tires i was getting 22 MPG but when i put on 35s im down to like 18

J/Cope79 · 10-23-2009, 08:50 AM

With 265's and my edge set to 3, I get 525-600 depending on where I go on a tank but its mostly mild city driving with some 60mile trips to my hometown to check on mom and the grandparents...my cruise is always set at 65-68 mph. The 265's are bout gone so im wanting some nittos in a 285/75 so im interested in what that does...oh and on the stockers..and with the recent rain..yea it can be interesting..lol

so the flitch fuel catalyst works? i considered getting one but was waiting till someone who bought one could give a review? did it give you the 2mpg increase it claimed?
