Original MPG thread

Stock I was seeing maybe 14-15 if lucky. But now I get maybe 9-10 if lucky, I really need to re gear and drive around with less crap in the bed.

When I first got this one, I was getting 15 mpg combined. An 87 BBT it stayed about the same. I put the General Grabber AT2 on it, and I'm lucky to get 13 combined. The worst I got out of a tank was 11mpg.

That's what Kathy always tells me. The other day I floored it and she said, well there went $20 worth of gas.

That's about right...

I lost 2 mpg with the tires and front end lifted. However, now that I have just shy of 20K on it, it has improved around town.

My average for the last 1200 miles is 14.6, not bad for mixed driving in this heavy bitch.

Scott, isn't that pretty good mileage for a 3/4ton and 6.0?

Matt, I snapped a quick vid of the MPG average on this last trip, even better with 91 octane.

Just finished a 6000 mile trip in the V8 Cadillac..
Overall average of just over 20 MPG...
Lowest was about 17 mpg from Tampa to Miami...running between 90 and 100 all the way.
Best was coming across Oklahoma and N Texas coming home.
Almost 24 mpg running around 85 to 90 most of the time... but I had a REAL STRONG tailwind on that leg.

It's still basically stock.

With a 350, cat-back exhaust and 3.73s I get around 15

I found info on 9 tanks of gas that I've bought since late last year.. The low was 18.8 MPG, the high was 23.7, and the overall average was 20.7. Most of these have been around town, plus a quick trip to Lufkin, a while back..

EDIT : Updated with more info.. and then a math error..
