shane.rawlings · 11-07-2009, 12:38 PM

Tell a little about the truck...ie mods, man/auto, year, cab style and bed length... im curious about the difference in actual mileage between the different trucks

thanks

You can see my sig. 2 mic filter is too new to be part of this input. 4.10 rear, auto and 4x4 get me 13.2

I had a 2000 5sp 4x4 3.55 and got 20 around town... as high as 24.3 on a trip with a 4k trailer.

Miss my fuel economy, but LOVE my 1500 more lbs truck. SO MUCH MORE ROOM... ha ha

I only drive about 3k a year so fuel milage is NO concern for me. With the 4.10s and locker this thing SCOOTS

17-19mpg the intake and straight pipe together helped the most i think i got about 17 and under stock. the smarty helps my mpgs a little but i usually end up using the extra power

Local driving (To and from work, around town etc.) I get 17-18mpg. On the highway (interstate mostly) setting the cruise just under 70 mph I get 21-22mpg if I keep my foot out of it getting on the interstate.

(What truck and mods in sig)
