I just made a 145 mile round trip and filled up afterwards, on the same pump, at the same station that I had filled up on before I left. I had to put 6.1xx gallons in. so that gives me with 23.77 MPG.

Well not too shabby.

I remeber I got 27 once on the same trip, so these gears can be hurting too much.


OT, when picking up a 4WD transmission, make sure the transfer case is at the bottom, cause it will flip on you and twist your hand up.

Sounds about right.
I can get 23mpg if I drive conservative.
Usually average 20-21mpg.
Worst ever 17mpg.

I was going to call you guys and go hang out, but I was tired as hell from helping my grandfather pressure wash his house. Its pretty hard to stay on a steep sloped roof when your shoes have no grip, and the shingles are covered in soap and bleach.

But I made $100 so oh well. lol

I got that mileage going about 75-80 the whole way too.

Blame the president!! (JUST JOKING)!

I think if you are getting close to 24mpg, that is amazing and nothing to be worried about.

I didnt charge him. I told him he didnt owe me anything. But he always insists. He likes to reward us when we do something for him. He can afford it and its something he likes to do, so after he put it in my car like 2 times I wasnt going to argue. lol

But yea, if I want to, I can burn a whole tank in a day.

And two tires.

That's true. Round here you do that and you will make 1000 enemies. We have a LOT of haters on the b-way in MD. If you are going the speed limit, you can be shot at.

That's pretty good meng.

I don't even care about gas mileage anymore, my 4.10s really f'd up my odometer. I've tried to fix it so many times already. When she's on E, I just fill her up.
