MPG

Haha! Thanks man, he is a great doggo!

my best pal! :-D

 

Thank you good sir!

 

Doggo companions are the best kind

 

I wish I knew how to post a pic on here my bully passed almost 2 years ago, he was a brindle English Bulldog.

 

Aw. Sorry to hear man.

They are great dogs with a lot of personality.

 

No question about it.

They don’t talk back to you, just keep you great company all the time

 

I'm in the 15-17 mpg range for most tanks. I do have 265/75/16 tires and some basic armor but I think the hills around the Reno area are the real killers for me. Even before the tires and armor, I rarely made it over 20 unless I took a drive on a long, flat highway.

 

When you went from 265/70s to 265/75s how much power loss did you experience? I'm in a manual and want to do this tire swap, but also don't want to lose any power.
Thanks in advance!

 

I am running LT235/85R16 AT tires, and get about 18 mpg, but range from 14 - 22 in the trip display depending on route type / traffic. I did wonder about trying HT tires or if the mileage will get way better with the oem P265/65R17 wheels/tires back on, but was hoping to sell the original wheel set.

i do like the driving feel and look of the LT235/85R16 on steel wheels better though, and no worries about curbs on the sides of the rims when street parking.

 

V6, 33s and armor/winch

I'm getting around 24mpg on the highway now, and 18-22 in the city.

This is drastically up from 12-15 city and 16-19 highway.

I just had my trans fluid flushed, and installed a softopper at the same time. Coincidentally, I believe that having the softopper in "bikini" mode is giving the gains + fresh trans fluid. I noticed I don't get the weird "double shift" or trans slip that I used to, it feels great driving now. I didn't think a trans flush would help this much.

Completely irrational and insane to think, however I am consistently getting these numbers for MPG. No idea, really strange lol.
Pic is after a 40min drive, when I went to park. This was on the way back, because I got the same MPG on the way to my destination I assumed it was elevation related. Nope... Same MPG otw home.

 

Yeah, I talk to dogs- friend's dogs, stranger's dogs, all of em!
My GF once said "You pet that lady's dog, talked to it, and didn't even say shit to her"
Me "oh,,, so what's the problem again?"

 

Exactly, and they never say no when you ask if they want to keep rolling!

 

Haha! I do the same shit, especially when I’m in a clients home. I’m more interested in their dog






Orrrrr their cat:

 

Oh man, 100%!

 

Very little from 70 to 75, much more noticeable going to 255s

 

How bout both?

 

Aw

Man I wanna get a cat so bad but not sure if I can trust my dog alone with the cat.

My dog is about 7-8 right now, I got him couple years ago. He was a guard dog in Mexico so has a bit of at attitude sometimes. (Like father like son )

 

I have 3 cats but this one is connected at the hip to the dog. When I adopted him (the cat) I kept him in my spare bedroom for a week or so to let my other two cats get used to the smell. Layla (my dog) was the first to be introduced, he walked up to her and tried to rub his head against her, she put his whole head in her mouth before I intervened....they've been inseparable ever since

 

Haha that’s great man!

One of these days I’ll get a little guy…
