ya i have a 2000 dak with the full time 4wd, gets the same mph and my 81 dodge w150 with the 360 4bbl lol...im not kidding either

 

Does that mean you feel like you are buying the station when you fill up?

 

Same here with my old 85 w150 only it had the puppy 318 in it.

 

im acually getting the best miles on a tank that i ever have, i will be filling my tank tonite and ill check my mpg then. right now i have 282 miles and im still above a quarter tank. oh, and i got a po155 code on as well.

 

maybe i gotta let off the gas a lil...lol i get about ahh 260-280 km's to a tank......

 

Oh and with the old trucks i cant see myself ever getting rid of it, parts are sooo cheap and can still get them lol

 

That's for sure. Everything is mechanical too, not electronic. Electronics make things nice but when they got bad it's a lot more difficult to repair and more expensive. Plus they fail more often than mechanical equivalents.

 

I have a 2002 Dodge Quad Cab 4x4 with 4.7 and i am getting around 17 mpg.

 

this is the reason the 12 valve cummins motor is such a bad *** those things are tanks

 

From an old guy with lots of highway miles. My 2004 4.7 would get 19 traveling at 65. When I realized it was downshifting on long gradual hills i reasoned maby I shoukd run 69, not 70 cause of the 5 mi over thing lots of cops use. Next trip same destination about 165 miles one way it averaged overall 21 trip down hill was 22. My current Dak is a 94 and gets right at 19 highway and Ive found it needs to run 2000 to 2100 rpm to get this. Run slow with low rpm and it downshifts and kills the mileage. My 94 actually averages around 16 on trips to the city to work, which includes 76 miles interstate 11 miles out of the mountain and usually around another 20 or 30 traveling in town on service calls. I cant complain with weight it carries.LOL my Scooter gets 88 and is more fun buit you cant work out of that
