  • Who has a diesel and whats your mpg?

    Hey everyone just curious how many miles per gallo do you get with your diesel not towing? I have a 99 pstroke stock except exhaust and somehow I'm only getting 10-12 in town and I drive like an 80 year old grandma! it does have bigger tires which may be a factor but still 12 mpg!

                Have you corrected the speedo/odo for the larger tires? If not, you are actually getting more miles out of a tank of fuel

                      I have an 03' Cummins auto, 2wd and get about 20-21 daily driving mixture and get about 15-16 towing my Jeep running at 70. If I go above 70ish it drops fast. All stock with a Leer Snug Top on it.

                        2010 dodge 2500 4x4 mega cab
                        16-18 highway or around town 35 mph or 75 mph doesnt matter

                        But put a 24' GN behind it and BAM bout 8-12

                        I am running 33's with the odo corrected

                        I put a 6" lift and 37's on it for about 3 months and took that **** right back off. It Dropped to 12-13 MPG and with me averaging 1000-1500 miles a week that wasnt going to cut it...

                          I have a 99 with the 6 speed 4x4 on 35s. I get 12 highway, 12 city, and 12 regardless of how much weight I have behind it. I have a ts 6 position and keep it on the 50 horse. Not much difference bt the 50 horse and the.rest of the settings with stock injectors other than the amount of smoke imo. I hope to lower it to a 2 or 4 inch lift (currently an 8") so that should help my milage a little. I want to get it up to around 15.
                          zuk buggy.....it'll be a jeep eventually.

                              I have a 05 Dodge CCLB 3500 single rear wheel 6 speed. On the highway it will all most break 20. Hand calculated it comes in right at 19.97 most of the time. Towing I usually get 14-15. I drive right at the speed limit and run my smarty jr on #2 with an intake and exhaust.

                              Fordman00, I've had 6 or 7 Powerstrokes. My last one was a 2000 CCSB and the best it would get was 14 and 9-10 towing. They were good trucks but I couldn't get the milage up.
