Ok so I'm just going to start by reiterating my earlier post in this thread. I put a 3" body lift and 305/70/16(33's) Maxxis Bighorns on my 2003 Dakota QC with a 5.9l and had the speed sensor reprogrammed for the bigger tires. My gas mileage before this mod was between 13-14....my gas mileage after this mod was between 13-14. Now this is "fact", so unless you're calling me a liar there is no reason to argue this, and if you are calling me a liar I'd like for you to come up with one logical explanation as to why anyone would lie about such a thing on this site.

Cool story.

Now I would need you to remove all of the above mods and tell me what your gas mileage is now before I would accept it as fact.

Wow guys can we stop bickering about gas mileage and just accept the fact that no one is gonna agree on this topic. This forum is supposed to be for Dodge lovers to come on and share there knowledge not rant back and forth. We can use this wasted energy better like talking smack about Chevys lol

I remember someone (in this thread) saying...something about "Everyone thought it was impossible for the world to be round...."

Just because i'm the only one that believes/understands the physics behind gas mileage doesn't make me wrong.

Honestly Madison I don't think its the fact that u know the physics and stuff I really think its the way u say it. Ya gotta remember that the tone of a person on here appears different from person to person.
The main thing I've noticed is that people are just blatantly saying someone is wrong versus trying to explain what they think.
