17.1 is good....
I wish I got 17.1 all the time.
I just came back today from Upper state NY, to Massachusetts, and I only got
around 15.65, and 16.1. I have a V6 too, no exhuast mods, just a K&N drop
in...

Subject: DML: Bad gas mileage on trip AND y-pipe ???
Okay, on my trip to louisianna from kansas. i recorded that averaging
around
85 mph, i got (according to the overhead computer) 16.8 miles to the gallon
then on the way back..
17.1 this is bad... and very sad.
i have a 97 dakota v6, 3.9, auto matic. bug deflector, 10" air cleaner
(with
poor man's ram air tubing) tonneau cover, electricic fans, and 180 degree
stat. and on the way down to louisianna, i had a dynomax Race magnum
muffler,
but on the way back i got a 2 chamber flow master. MY GOD it is loud under
2000 RPM and kinda has an annoying "note" on the highway and when letting
off
the gas .... well, is that piss poor mileage?
ALSO..
when i was down in louisianna, my coz owns a shop that does mufflers so i
told
me to fabricate me a custom y-pipe (he has a freaking mandrel bender) but
he
told me i'm just wasting my money, since you have to do the WHOLE system to
get real gains? can some1 prove him or me wrong?
