In summer my mpg never goes below 17. even with all city driving. if i drive highway no stop i can get about 350-360 miles out of a tank before the gas light comes on. the mpg indicator shows about 22, so with 10% margin of error for the 31s vs. the stock tire size i get about 24 mpg on all highway. but, my tires weight about 52lbs. a piece, so with lighter tires, it might be a touch better. i do have quite a bit of add-ons though. i might re-gear soon, just to relieve some stress from the motor and the tranny.

I had a miss and thought when i fixed it my mpg would go up. i was wrong. Does anyone know how to check to see if the cat is clogged?

Brings it up, but only to a certain point. Too long to explain, it's on here somewhere.

Im on 31"s, but my readings are null in void, because I can only brim up to 3/4 a tank, and between a 5speed, and header to full exhaust with a Flowmaster, I get on it everywhere with the stupid pedal.




I am an idiot.

Nice ride, Bustedknuckle. I love a clean, moderate build.

If you were to match the gearing ratio to that of what you have on stock tires, it would theoretically bring it up to near stock mpgs. But then you would have to figure in the weight of the new wheels/tires, etc. and the aerodynamic values you lost from the lifting.

However, I would say that gearing properly is probably the most surefire way to restore the power and mpg.
