Bastard!

Oh well I love my AWD. Would a tune increase my mpg. I'm more highway than city driving I drive back and forth to work which is about 20 miles round trip and im filling my beast up about once a week if I could get it up to about a week and a half i would be happy. I would be happy with about 14 to 15 with a mixture of city and highway.

I get 13 to 14 City and 17 to 18 on the highway. A tune would add maybe 1.5 MPG on the Highway (Lean cruuise mode.) I just rant 800 miles to Virginia and back at around 72 to 75 MPH and got 16.5. That's not bad for not babying it up and down those hills. Plus I have a small exhaust leak so that isn't helping anything.

 

They are not trucks for achievign good gas mileage, but do much better than most equivilants.

9 City, 14 highway

 

Hey, at least it beats my old 454SS, which was rated 8 City, and 10 highway...

 

And I have bought a Jap beater too in case GWB decides we need to pay $5 a gallon, while the SS will only be driven on nice weekends this winter.

 

Never thought I would drive a ricer again, but hey, $350 was too good to pass up, and I can run the hell out of it knowing that if it dies, I can just walk away from it :) It gets about 28 or so, with 188,000 miles...Passed smog, everything works, no complaints. I get my balls busted a lot about it though :)
