My '97 Dodge Ran (5.9L) averages about 16 MPG on the highway. In town it's more like 12-13.

Ya know, I was recently singled out by some people here that I'm negative and all that, yet the HHO bullshatt artists never did back up their claims here, when I called them out on it.



With that in mind, if any of my posts offend, please fill out this report.

HHO generator???? A water generator??? WTF? Guess I missed something there.

And don't worry about it VW, its a dirty job, but, someones gotta do it. After all, if everyone were always positive, we wouldn't have anything to complain about, now would we?

Love the report form, have I see that somewhere else before?

Yeah, well I know bull**** when I see it and smell it. Sometimes I'm too much of a straight shooter, but then I'm the kind of guy who'll tell someone, "What'dya mean *KINDA*? That's like saying you're *KINDA UGLY* Either you are or you aren't."

Anyway, for those in the military, and my posts offend, please use this forum.

Wow not really sure how I started this thread. I was asking what mileage everyone was getting in the royal purple thread. I was just curious to see if the synthetic users were getting better or worse than conventional users.....sorry

The way you phrased the question, I thought you were asking a random one and hijacking that thread, so I moved it into a new thread for you.

Synthetic oil in the differentials may improve mileage by a bit (2 or less MPGs), but I doubt you'll see any significant difference in mileage by using synthetic over conventional motor oil.
