    The 33s make your odometer 15% off, still sucks, your 10mpg only goes to 11.5mpg.

    3 miles is the problem. Then again if must not be all you drive or you'd be gassing up every 2 months.

    Ah. I was getting ready to ask if you let the truck idle in the parking lot while you're at the gym. Don't do that division there. It's miles per gallon. Not miles per gallon per liter.

    If I understand how you calculated it and reversing it back out I'm guessing your trip read about 483.3 miles. Nice tank. You should've gotten about 27 mpg. That's good.

    If those are the numbers, then that's not so good. For safety, double check that you don't have a gas leak.

    The worst I've ever gotten was 18.5 mpg out during an ice storm.

    As stated earlier, your ODO is off by 15%. You actually traveled 207 miles, which equates to 11.56 MPG. Do you floor it everywhere you go? :p

    I just filled 506.7 miles on 18.233 gallon or 27.79 MPG. I like all these 500+ mile tanks we are seeing. :D

    I would love to even hit 450, I can barely get 400. A good long highway trip and I would be able to get there, but with as much city b/s as I do.

    I'm still happy though, I'm somewhere around 22-23. Hell of a lot better than the V6 Taco's and my old Blazer.

    What cover do you have?


    Same here. I've been mostly in town driving. To add insult to injury, I filled up last time at a place I never have before. Even though I got premium, I don't think the quality of the fuel is very good. It's running rougher and the needle is falling faster. I've added Seafoam which has helped some.

    382.8 miles on 16.9 gallons for 22.65 mpg (60% to 70% city driving) on rough running bad gas. I'm not going to that place again. I didn't like the thought that I still had a few gallons of it left in the tank so I put in more Seafoam.

    20.6 mpg on the first 1/4 tank, all around town so far. Heading to the bay area tomorrow so i'll get some highway in the mix and see how it comes out.
    Not bad for 6" of lift, armor and 35" KM2's. :D

    Did you factor in the larger tires and everything? If you did, that's pretty damn good. :cool:
