TurbochargedBerserker Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 It's better with the MS gone -- I sat at idle for over an hour on the last tank (in addition to same driving style as before) and got 8.2mpg <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The headers will be a nice addition. You know what you should do, instead of primarily searching for more power now is to see what you can do to get mileage up to 10mpg without loosing rwtq/rwhp... Mr. P. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In all seriousness, that is my next big tuning goal. I want to see if it settles down (actually up a bit) before I come up with some goals.

haul@ss Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 this maybe a stupid question, but does having a motor with more cubes drop the mpg? i remember reading something like this before, but im not exactly sure of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN C5 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Erik, prior to the issue we talked about I'm averaging 22mpg on the Highway with mine at 65. MPG at fill up time only 2 partial fill ups to date was 14.xx You must really have a heavy foot Here is a pic of Erik's driving shoes U.S. Navy Heavy Weight Diving Shoes Fitted with heavy lead soles made to U.S. Navy design. Weight is approximately 40 lbs. per pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parish8 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 you droped the mega? i really like mine and i can't see how mega could hurt your mileage any. i have closed loop fueling all the time so i can comand any a/f ratio i want. i see 12+ just driving my truck around semi normal then i can get less than 4mpg if i go out and do some tuning or racing.

TurbochargedBerserker Posted June 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Yeah, I was having some major trouble with the ETC. Seemed like the only short fix was pulling it out... hehe I also do almost no driving that doesn't involve either WOT or sitting in traffic. I'm working on a way to combine both...

Maximus Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Ok, if you have had time to go through three tanks of fuel in this sucker than you are way over due for getting us all some numbers at the track.
