Hey everyone, now I am really confused.... I have been pissen and moanen about my poor mpg and now today when I filled up, I hand calculated 22 MPG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't changed anything and have been driving the same. So how can I go from gettin 15.7 avg. to 22? (All hand calculated.)
I have about 3,000 miles on new injectors if that matters. I have been told by some that the injectors need to break in? I don't really know what there is to breakin in an injector, but if they finally broke in, I am happy................

Did you try unhooking your battery like I suggested? I'm .00001% sure I'm not crazy and did hear that our trucks sometimes have an issue w/the torque converter. I think it either engages all the time or never engages and causes horrible MPG loss.

No, I didn't change anything. I was planning on doing the batt. reset but when I filled up, I was amazed. I have not a clue why it was so much better on this fill. I just hope it keeps it goin.

Thats darn good if its right! I havenever heard of mileage going up like that. Where you driving alot on the highway then? Or is that around town highway mix?

Maybe there was less wind on that tank. I just drove 520 km non stop in calm weather and got 18 MPG ( Thats the best I'VE ever got ) Then coming home same road, same cargo, same distance, different day with a steady cross wind, I was down to 12 MPG... wind plays a big factor

I know, I did check the math several times.... 260 / 11.75 gal 22.1
My fuel gauge was between 3/4 and 1/2 tank. Usually I'm getting about 200 miles out of about a 1/2 tank.
4x4 fantasy, you better hope that I don't tell my wife about your smaller women comment, she'll kick your butt! lol
One other thing to mention is that I have been filling up at the same place all the time. Its a station that alot of truckers fill up and they go thru lots of fuel and keep the stuff fresh.
Trust me I am very anal about getting good mpg and I am not B.S. ing I just can't believe that it can vary that much???

On my last tank, going east on 80 I got 20.66 mpg I was very happy with that. It is only the second or third time breaking the 20mpg mark.
I have seen wind direction affect my mpg by as much as 4 mpg!!
