what mpg are you guys getting
hey guys,
just curiouse as to what kind of mpg are you guys getting. i have a superchip, airforce one FIPK, and a gibson supertruck catback. i am currently getting 12 mpg. i drive normal...with the occasionally burst of speed. but really quite conservative. i thought i would be getting better than this. i drive about 60 percent highway. just looking for what you guys are getting/what mods/and percent of your miles are done on the highway. thanks for your time and posts. |
12?? wth?!
I'm getting 16+ and I'm constantly wearing out my brakes.. :) |
4.2 mpg
my mpg varies on my 4.2 from 13.5 in town to 15 in town and 16.5 to 18.5 on the road i have a dual exaust system and ak&n filter.if it matters any i saw no real mpg gains from the duals or the filter but i have not had the truck long.i just like the sound of duals
|
i wonder why i am getting 12 then. i only have 4 grand on the odometer...think that could be it??
|
I heard in another post that mpg will be low until the motor has fully broken in but I am unsure of how long they considred the break in period. I get 15-16, city and highway at 70mph combined.

My 97 is getting 13 in town and towing. I've never took a long enough trip without towing to know the highway mileage. I just got my truck out of the shop for the hissataing(Spelling). They reprogrammed my PCM (or what ever that thing is) one new plug and wire, and added fuel injector cleaner. (#4 injector was not as good as he like it to be) So far it looks like I'm starting to get better gas mileage. To soon to tell.

weeknight racing = 12.5mpg
all city= 15.7mpg all highway= 18.3mpg best all time average= 20.2mpg (65mph highway, no stops) worst all time average= 8.?mpg (friday & sunday at track, racing all weekend, racing at rankin.) this is all average. |
I don't know how to calculate my gas milage... But I can tell you that it takes an awful long time to run my gas tank dry between fill-ups. I'd honestly say it get's 17-18 city, 20-21 highway. That's just with a dual exhaust.

i get 16-17 with highway/city mostly city driving.
WOLVERINE next time you fill up reset your trip milage, and then when the next time you fill up(fill it up all the way to make sure you are getting good numbers) take the gallons and divid it by the miles |
14 mpg overall average
|
city 12-15
Hwy 20-21 @70mph best: 22.7 @ 60 mph on a very flat road. |
an update
well,
i have no idea why but i think things are improving. maybe it is the engine breaking in or something...but i checked today and found i was getting 13.3 mpg. that is a 1.3 mpg improvement. and i have not been driving different...if anything i have been more aggressive with the gas pedal. just thought i would update you guys...but i am still not happy with these numbers. i am going to try and lay off it for a while and see what happens. that is until i get my next mod, you all know what will happen then:D ;) :D |
i have found that my gas milage does not differ to much(within .5) weather im in the pedal all of the time or when im driving miss daisy.
|
i would get much better gas mileage if there was never mud or water to play in ;)
|
lol i don't know why but i get about 17-19 city and 20-23 on the highway my truck is an 99 with a . auto reg cab short bed flareside with 3.08 rear end and k&n fipk and flowmaster 40 out the side lol i don't know why you guys get such bad mpg plus i drive like a bat out of hell
