I put more air in my tires and gained 2 mpg. I went from 16mpg to 18mpg mostly city driving.

Those 16-18 mpg sounds about right... I wouldn't think you'd get much more than that as long as its stock. I've heard good things about the K&N air filter tho... that might boost your mileage. Otherwise, yeah... my (current) daily driver is only getting 13-14mpg. But you love on 'em anyways, right? :)

What psi should i have my Michelin Cross Terrains at? They are all at around 29-30 now. Should I raise them up to around 33?
|
32psi is standard but I run my Nittos at 35psi.
|
I run my good years at 60psi the max on them is 65psi cold, look at your tires to make sure. The psi is the fastest gas robber besides a clogged airfilter or even worst a clogged fuel filter..
|
I run 33 Mud Terrains at 35 psi... still get 14 mpg in the city
|
I guess I will do 33 psi tonight, my max is 35 psi
|
started running my "street" tires (32" a/t's) at 35 psi last tank full....
I just jumped up to nearly 17 mpg! aaron |

and yah, going back to metric 32"s that are a/t's looks REEEEEALY lame compared to my 285 m/t's....but...saves the duckets. Saves wear on the m/t's too :great: aaron |
Doing the formula I'm getting 18 1/2 mpg consistantly.....except the first week I did the ISR mod-17 that week. Prior to the mod I was getting 19+ but oh, that noise! I do about 30/70 highway/city driving.
I have Michelin LTX M&S on mine currently, no lift, pretty much stock. |
