Bragging on my MPG

Octane doesn't really have anything to do with fuel mileage. It's anti-knock index - there is no more energy. Perhaps the added detergents in the fuel (depends on where you get it) are helping? Also, maybe it's not infused with ethanol?

 

everyone argues this....you realize these trucks have VVTI? it can take advantage of higher octane fuel by advancing timing which changes the argument. the truck simply runs better on 91. less gear hunting, and slightly more power.

the truck would knock on 87 octane without VVTI. The VVTI effectively retards the timing so there is no knocking on 87. this results in reduced performance.

not looking to get into another debate about this again. keep using 87 if you don't have any issues.

 

Yes sir I do. Of course if it knocks with 87, use 91. You realize just about EVERY car has VVTI right? lol.

 

35000 miles driving like a grandma does not sound fun. Good on you for sticking with that driving style.

 

ecar fuel, I dont get it? I worked at a cogen power plant and we used natural gas/LPG to run the turbines. Where do you live India?

 

I get pretty good gas mileage.

 

In 2021, about 4,108 billion kilowatthours (kWh) (or about 4.11 trillion kWh) of electricity were generated at utility-scale electricity generation facilities in the United States. About 61% of this electricity generation was from fossil fuels—coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other gases.

 

been keepin track since 09 on mine, pretty much 18.2 range, don't matter city or interstate. Towing my RV...................7 or 8 is real range.

 

This is what you 3rd gen guys are missing out on

Well that and not needing a tune for a good automatic I guess

 

No complaints here

 

this photo is clearly immediately after filling up and hopping on the interstate. come back and show us what it says when it gets to E

 

The folks at Lawrence Livermore Labs ( think UC Berkeley ), had a breakthrough in nuclear fusion -

While a decade or two away from being able to deliver that kind of power nationally, or even locally, or globally, it will happen.

The unlimited amount of power will light up cities, provide battery re-charges, send rockets to other planets, and whatnot.

The sooner the better....

 

i heard, hopefully they've made a net gain reaction. anyways, i'm excited for zero-point energy. rumor has it the U.S. military already has a craft powered by it that was developed in the 80s...

65mph is not slow dude.

 

I wouldn't doubt it. Not one bit. I'm quite sure the U.S. Government, as well as other Governments around the globe possess alien tech.

 

As soon as we can get fusion power on line, everything changes. Electrify the roads and never have to charge up.

 

Whatever you say, Grandma.

They? Well go out there and fix it yourself.... show 'em how it's done.
