Post your GAS MILEAGE!! - Page 2

Silly RobD. Almost every country that uses the metric system, (including Canada), has a socialist form of gov't. In America it's "We The People". In Europe,...and Canada, it's all aboot the gov't takin care of the poor people that can't fend for themselves. I'm not saying that we don't have those parasites in the U.S., but we like to think of them as the Al Gore lovin Liberal babies.

RobD · 04-12-2008, 05:53 PM

Post data to back up your claims that "almost every country that uses metric has a socialist form of government".

I'd also like to know how you figure that the Conservative Party currently running Canada is socialist? Aside from having socialized medical care, point out to me how the government runs the press or any of the major companies in Canada. We have social programs, but I'd hardly call our government 'socialist'.

But I guess if it wasn't for your flourishing drug trade, America wouldn't know about the metric system at all!

Well, just Wednesday put a full tank in and the gauge hasn't moved from being over the full mark yet after about 25 miles, but I'll post back up here once the tank's gone and I'll see where I stand... should be pretty good now, I went all of last week and then some on just under a half a tank, and that was with a good amount of miles too, but I didn't calculate it out cuz I didn't know how many miles or exactly how much gas I had in it. Got the info now though; put 14.765 gallons in at 284,008 miles, and at $3.319 a gallon, that cost me $49.00!

Gas prices suck...

JohnRaven · 04-12-2008, 07:59 PM

I'm getting about 8.6mpg on a 3.0... yay for me, right? lol

Just wait till gas prices are as high as Europe's... They pay what, like $7 a gallon there?

Ganoid · 04-12-2008, 08:11 PM

When I take it out on the hwy for a trip I manage 18 mpg@65-70mph. The only information not in my sig is the weight.... 5000 lbs last time I weighed it at work.

I never check it in town as I only drive it 3-4 miles a day so it never even gets fully warm.

90 4runner / 5spd / 3.0 / 33's / no mods (exc lift) / 245000miles

11mpg no matter where I drive.

My old War Pig Suburban got better mileage...til the engine failed. Most dramatic, really.

DEEPRUNNER88 · 04-12-2008, 09:10 PM

I get 15-16 mpg. 88 3.0 w/ 32x11.50x15" tires. 5 speed tranny. 2" body lift. Fill ups are at 255 miles to the tank (17 gallons).

muddpigg · 04-12-2008, 10:15 PM

21.12 mpg's last tank

, with a mix of driving. 33x10.5 for DDing. I should ride my bike for daily commuting the 3 mile trips with lots of stops suck gas. Engine is to operation temp as I'm cutting the engine.

This SUCKS BUNGHOLE

I'm going to start using my Enduro Bike More often -

4x4YOTA · 04-12-2008, 10:42 PM

Im getting 19.5

RobD · 04-12-2008, 11:02 PM

Holy crap, there is a wide variety of economy here. I'm sure I could squeak a bit more than 22 mpg out of mine, if I kept my foot out of the throttle. I wonder why you guys are getting only single digit economy. I pretty much use Shell gas wherever and whenever I can. I find that makes a difference.

refried · 04-13-2008, 01:09 AM

I'm up to 13 or 14 mpg now after changing back to 32x11.50s and 3.90 gears. I was down to about 10 with 35s and 4.37s, and it didn't handle as well as it does with the smaller tires on it (I was tired of filling it up every 100 miles too). the high gear/32" combo sounds like it wouldn't work but it lets me pull a fully loaded raft trailer up a steep grade at 70 without a problem.
3.8 Buick, 230 hp, big cam, lots of head work, automatic.

nate V · 04-13-2008, 06:36 AM

3.0 - 5spd - 31x10.5 - 3in body - im getting about 15-17.5 mpg

hoping for better after I re-gear

smishgibson · 04-13-2008, 08:10 AM

86 p/u
22rte - Stock
All factory accessories P/S, A/C, power everything etc.
2wd
K&N filter
Blown head gasket
140,000 miles

11 mpg... With 40% city, 60% highway and a very light foot.

I'm hoping in the next few weeks after I get my block back from the machine shop, and I get back on the road, mileage will be much improved.

/ shrug.

21-22mpg with a V6, 5spd, 4x4 and tonneau cover. I was at 19-20 and when I added the tonneau cover I picked up about 10%. All my driving is highway and I go between 65-70mph. My tires are 255/65/15 on some sort of aftermarket 15in rim.

Leave. Your cousin is calling you.
