mpg question..

I have a 2004 Dcab 2.7L

Does 18.5 - 19 mpg city and about 22 mpg sound about right??

it is the dcab, so it is a little heavier im assuming than an access or reg cab. ide like tro get 21 or more city.

what about an afe filter?? no k&n. Im not to fond of the oil

thanks for your help

 

edit- 22 mpg highway

 

best bet would probably be to buy something like a scangauge that gives you live mpg and drive accordingly.

 

im also keeping the rpm's under 2500. I know that helps.

but i get between 310-320 miles per tank in the city. divide that by tank size, 17 gallons, that would be around 19 pmg city. I was hoping for better than that, but well see i guess

 

Seafoam, Scangauge, aFe drop-in air filter, proper tire pressure can help some.

 

Divide your miles driven by fuel you put in, not just tank size. Unless you run it dry, that is!

 

I put 16.9 gallons in it with gas at $2.61 came out to $44.50

320 divided by 16.9

roughly 19 mpg. I think I did that right. I suck at math!!
