i would LOVE to get 16 mpg on my evic.. typically i never even get to see a 12 lol

 

Ahm a thinkin' ah mite jes drive it like ah stole it an' take a sharpie pen an' inscribe a BIG OL' 25 over my MPG display an' be dun with it.

On second thawt I might jes black out the whole dam thang

 

I didn't say it!!!but these trucks have good air flow.

Forgot 355 gears getting 25 on the highway and 16 in the city, calculated using the US gallon and miles so my city sucks but highway is good, cruise usually 60 mph but I do give the truck a full throttle to the end work out! Then the mileage is messed up for days.

 

LOL. What most jeep guys know is that open element air filters clog really easily if you drive anywhere dusty. Oiled media filters are one step worse.

 

+1 - I'm on the highway 50% of the time and I cant do better then 14.8 MPG

Thinking that Dakotaho's sharpie idea might make me feel better - lol

 

Can't really knock on "eGay" too much, I've gotten some good deals on stuff off of there for my Camaro. DocFluty's intake was off of there too I think, there's a thread floating around somewhere about it. As for your MPG....that's exactly why I went with the 3.55s and 2wd, don't need 4wd 95% of the time and if I want to go fast I have my bike or camaro lol my truck is my cruiser/bike transport. For the few hours I had it before hitting a deer, I was seeing an average of 19mpg mixed city/freeway and I was NOT being gentle with it the sales guy at the dealership who finally signed it over to me told me "there's no break in period, drive it as hard or easy as you want to it'll adapt to your driving style, just bring it back for your first oil change around 3500 miles". So I'm pretty happy with that 19mpg for now...time will tell if my regular commute will improve on that.

 

Alright... one day later... pics will be up later.

The intake pipe stays COLD.... definitely colder air going in even though the filter isn't WAY down.

The mpg difference so far with 50/50 city/hwy is about .5mpg higher. I'll keep an eye on it though for a few days.

The buttdyno registers some extra torque on the low end. I guess basically the throttle response is better.

That's it for now. Pics up later.

 

no caliathlete my intakes are not from ebay. my xdi came from autoanything.com and my mopar intake was a free gift from the guys at aem.

nothing wrong with an ebay kit, i had a nice one on my dakota that helped a lot

 

Alright.... pics with camera phone
