red00lght Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Man...I'm happy when I see 12.0 or higher! I think my tune must be running really rich or is this normal for a Radix truck? (I'm usually operating out of boost in mostly highway driving....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePDB Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I know I don't have the awd.. being it is a VHO and it is alot lighter.. But the best I have seen is stock was 26 mpg on the way to nevada last year. Modified with heads cam and injectors.. 23 I average between 75-80 mph highway. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> who are you kidding? I think you meant 95-110!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wody Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 thats easy to beat just after you fill up reset the mpg and go easy on the throttle to about 45 mph and then let off the throttle and let coast you'll see like 24 i've done it just never thought anyone would be stupid enough to fall for such a cheap trick.
