what do you mean last quarter, my first quarter goes faster than you think

it's normal for my truck to hit 175 at a half tank, it will sit there until about 250 miles and a quarter at around 300 if im lucky. The last quarter is anywhere between 45 and 75 miles.

It used to be spot on, 25 gallons when the LFL came on, but last fill up was 29.654 gallons on a 30 gallon tank, i almost myself and just had the gryphon put on from the edge.

Best tank i ran was 512miles from the dealer, california to las vegas, some off roading and 0-80 in between, but never saw that again

Alright dude we believe you. Your the only one on this entire site who has benefited from a throttle body spacer. You must have a magic motor. Maybe ill install 2 of them so I can get double benefits.

Maybe someone is playing a trick on you and everynite when you park the truck they are adding a couple gallons of gas to the tank. Did that in highschool our buddy had a chevy 350 and he bought the tornado and he just knew he would get better gas mileage, well every nite we added 3 to 5 gallons to his tank and at the end of the tank he thought he was getting 24mpg out of that old 350

Right now I average about 13mpg out of my truck. I'm going to combine a TBS and tornado intake to get my milage to about eleventy. I've done the math and it is gonna work.

ok first off, 31 YNOT, dig the truck. Must admit admit, pretty funny thread. But everybody makes mistakes. I bought and installed a Airraid TBS too. I thought at first it may have helped a lil bit. But just because you think it did doesnt mean anything. It definitely did not help w/ mpgs, especially not as much as he claims, but i did leave it on, cuz i like the whistling sound, just me.

you divide the miles you got on the tank by the number of gallons put in to fill you back up. Not by the size of the tank

He could have the 35.7 gallon tank like I do and only filled up with 27 gallons. If that's the case, he doesn't run his tank as low as I do. I normally fill up with about 32 gallons and get ~560 miles/tank.
