    I get around 21mpg freeway:
    1) I would fill-up to a full tank (i.e. NOT topping it off)
    2) write down the current odometer mileage
    3) let it go to half-tank (i.e. approx 9gal... it's an 18gal tank)
    4) do the calcs
    5) I repeated this process about 3x times and it was averaging around 21mpg

    NOTE:
    I did similar calcs for my 2005 Honda Civic and it was averaging approx 32-34mpg... around those numbers... LOL... say 33mpg... That was a fairly recent TEST that I did for that car before it sat for days on end with very little use. So, HIGHLY doubt anything has changed!!!

    I don't know about city and really don't care too much? I'm more concerned with fwy mpg so I can get a good estimate of life out of a full tank of gas when going on long trips. You know, thinking about it, I probably should get a rough calc for city as well??? :confused::rolleyes: The idea behind that is that I could use that as an ROUGH estimate when on the trails??? :confused::rolleyes: I'll remember to let you know about that one.

    Man that is some money. Doesn't seem like any of them have AC. This is what kept me away from a swap and smog.

    Yup, coolest thing I've won for sure. Still patiently waiting to install them lol. Lagging. I'm ready to put some focus back on the truck so I'll get them wired up next month. Thanks again.

    Still down, but still more hopeful than a mudrunner. V bars going in this weekend. Pretty sure I might have a hard on welding them in.
