I'm getting better MPGs now.

So gas is going up and MPGs arent going to magically get better, F it! I went from driving like an old man back to driving like a normal person trying to get somewhere in time. I dont mash on the gas and I dont pu$$y foot around. I maintain speed at the posted speed limit, which i usually do anyway. Now I'm getting 1.5 mpg's better. Funny how that works out.

Stock- 19.5 mpgs
31s stock gears- 17 mpgs
32s stock gears-14.5 mpgs
32s and 4.10s- 16.5 mpgs
changing driving habits- 18 mpgs

To be honest, I'm surprised I'm only 1.5 mpgs less then factory. After all I've added weight, made my rig less aerodynamic and put more rotating mass on the driveline. Give it a try for a couple tanks.

Funny you mention this. I was doing a 'test" to determine if an air filter makes a difference (It didnt for me) and i found the same thing. That driving habbit was the largest factor to me MPG. keep it up brotha..but dont tell me you dont get a LITTLE made every time a Prius passes you :SOMBRERO:

My Scangauge II has revolutionized my driving habits. If you like experimenting with routes and driving strategies like I do, it will give you instant feedback about whether your tactics actually save gas. I can't recommend it highly enough.

is it the same everywhere for summer/winter fuels? i live in florida and ive gotten 16.5 mpgs for as long as i can remember. im doing more experimenting to make sure and trying different fuel grades. i found ethanol free gas on a road trip back in february and got 2 more mpgs on the interstate.
