My 92 4x4 V8 3.90's truck gets about 11-12 town and 14-16 hiway......This is
after almost 95k miles.....
Now, I have always gotten this mileage...
I have a K&N, power pulleys, Gibson 3" cat back exhaust......
I also use a MP computer off and on, with no noticeable change in mileage...
My truck runs GREAT!!! So I dont think its sik...
The only other thing that could change mileage is tire size vs speedo
gearing...I run 30x9.50s....Bu tI have checked the odometer with turnpike
mile markers and all seems fine...
How are you folks getting such good mileage???
I have been on this list almost since its inception, and I could never
figure out how there are folks getting 15-16 around town.....Gearing?? A
very light foot? (I tend to skoot around pretty agressively!!!! :-> )
