I won't believe it until I see a full tank of gas go by with similar results.

With the Stock LQ4/80E 3.42s 29" tires, STS, i recently got 27mpg... but i have to double check my speedometer with GPS to make sure its dead on to actually claim that. Its all small highway from Crystal Springs to Magee and i did the speed limit, 55mph. IDC never went over 8% , AFR- 15.5.

I went to meet Lilreddevil Saturday, I decided to fill up before i left to check my mileage. Got 18.2mpg on that half tank. Went and got some tires and stuff from Randy. When i got back i filled up at the same gas station and same pump.

92.4miles on 3.4gallons

I always fill it up as much as possible. Its always stayed consistent around town, 18. Sometimes it varries .3 give or take.

I plan on making that trip a few more times just to play with my tuning. Im still on Stock timing and 93octane.
I just put in a modified Thermostat with the BB mod, it runs at 165*, so im goin to see if that hurts or helps.

CHRIS YOUR INSTALLING A SYSTEM TAHT WILL ENABLE YOUR TRUCK TO PUMP EVEN MORE GAS THAN STOCK YOUR GONNA BE LIKE -26MPG

JUST THINKING ABOUT STARTING YOUR TRUCK IS GONNA WASTE 1/2 TANK
