Gas Mileage

[1973Guppie]

finally got my scanguage chinese version all set up and calibrated. Drove the family loaded up with 2 dogs, luggage, wife and kid from carlsbad to yosemite for the holiday. Looks like I am getting 13.5 miles per gallon. That is with driving 75+ and not holding back on the pedal. Actually am fairly happy with the results. I was guessing I would of got much worse, around 11. Most likely when travelling with the pop up trailer, etc I will get around 11.

Just thought I would report back to see what others are getting. I am running 33 inch size tires and a 2.5 inch ome lift. Front and rear heavy bumpers (slee and rear 4x4 labs) and baja rack roof rack.

I was getting about 17 mpg before installing the new exhaust system and am now averaging 19 with one half-tank at 20 mpg. I think the improvement is partly due to the actual exhaust and partly to the audible feedback it provides, making the driver more aware of a heavy right foot.
