    Gas mileage

    Let's hear what y'all got going to/from MV9.

    Forgot to check on the way in, but I got 24 mpg on the first leg back (with all gas) and 22.4 on the second (with E10). That was at sustained 70-75 MPH, 2 people, and all the usual vacation luggage, etc. I'm happy.

    From my house Wednesday morning. I drove 344 miles driving with mostly the cruise on at 70-75.
    Averaged 19.1 MPG
    Pumped in 18 gallons of gas after that crazy experiment!!

    Eaton swap & 4.10 gears.



    Still drove about 10 miles with the gauge like this.
    I was scared for sure.

    I didn't have a long enough drive to really gauge it. I know I made it 183 miles on less then a half a tank. Im thinking I pull in the 20-22mpg range and thats with all my bolt-on's, 4.10's, and a 3K stall convertor at 75-80mph the whole drive. Plus a 130 mph blast that had Voula yelling on the radio that I'm leaving her behind.

    Mine was terrible on the way up and while up there.

    I normally average 20 to 21 on the highway, first tank was 19, then two around 17.5.

    First fill up today was 19, last one back up to 21.

    Figuring it must have been the mountain driving enroute along with a different gas blend.
