Just put 33" tires on my 2011 5.0 supercrew, and was wondering was kind of MPG I should be looking at getting?

 

Has the speedometer/odemeter been recalibrated? After a recalibration, you should lose about 1.5 to 2.0 mpg.

 

No it has not, how do I recalibrate it?

 

You have to have a tuner or take it to a dealer, have it reprogrammed, if the tires are any different in height.

 

Damm I didn't know that! thought I was good to go after leveling kit and tires.

Thanks Bluejay

 

Think about it. It is programmed for the factory sized tire. You put taller tires on, and now they make fewer revoutions, so your reading is off by the percentage of the tire size difference.

 

Yea it makes sence!

 

Any good gas saving tips? Asides intake and exhaust.

 

Those won't help mpg. Really, the only thing that helps is how you drive. Driving 60 to 65 is optimum, anything over that cuts into mpg. You just have to decide if getting there quicker is more important than mpg. You have already made the decision that looks is more importamt. Any lifting and bigger wheels and tires really cut mpg. Just part of the price for what we want in appearance.

 

Your right foot, baby it and you'll get better mileage.

 

Truer words have never been written. MPG is entirely dependent on your foot, it really is that simple. Tune, no tune, exhaust, intake, tires, wheels, lift....all of this can effect overall but your foot will determine the damage.

 

Beside the right-foot mod' ...

• insure that the tires are properly inflated.
• insure that the suspension components are within spec' and that the alignment is *****-on.
• religiously perform routine maintenace.
• remove -ANY- unnecessary weight in the bed and/or cabin.
• Tow/Haul -OFF- *Unless actually towing.
• use cruise-control whenever possible.
• keep the vehicle clean.

Clean? JOE, seriously? Don't start tellin me that a little road grime increases drag now........ Bahahahahahahahaha You kill me.

 

Ever notice that between each round in drag racing that the F/C (Fuel Coupe / Funny Car) teams wax/polish/spray-detail the body. Trust me ... It's not just for show. It's for GO!

Every vehicle I have ever owned ran better when clean. Hey, even I run better right after my weekly bath!
