Hmmm. No whining about MPG here (yeah RIGHT!)
I've actually gotten ABOVE 20MPG.
WORST CASE: ~9MPG (off roading - city driving my butt!)
BEST CASE: ~21 MPG (toolin' down the hiway)
I keep all my fuel purchases in a log book (damn military training)
but I haven't done up a spread sheet in a while. I'll do that tonight
in between hanging curtains and such (new apartment).
'97 318 V8 CC 4x4 5spd (dammit can't remember the gear ratio)
Sport+ Pkg
31x10.5 tires
HD towing
HD Elect
Manual locks/windows A/C
Infinity Spkr System
ONLY MODS: CB Radio, Pioneer CD, HandOutTheWindow (removable mod ;)
No carriage bolt mods
Yeah, yeah, yeah I know, don't be a wuss and do something to the truck
(said as I'm ducking flying carriage bolts).
