Default Mileage

Check out the pic of my dashboard. This is a first for me from the pin above full down to the full line is usually about 180 miles. The crazy thing is I am having intermittent problems with a dead miss on start up. If the rest of this tank goes this well I should get around 20+ MPG.

Leave the miss and keep the mpg,s I am only getting 15.75 on my 06, but it only has 5,100 miles on it. After a few hard pulls I think I will be up there with ya.

just hope that miss doesnt turn into a problem I'm having. . .I think my TST is once again dropping out.

on the way to work yesterday my truck just looses its mind, tach goes to 0 and I instantly procede to shut down a 4 lane highway from the massive BCOD from my tail pipe. after 1/8 mile she picks back up, smoke goes away and once again she's bawls to the walls. P0336 which matches up with my crank sensor[:@]

That is awesome. I wish I could see that. What does your overhead MPG display read? I have about 100 miles on my tank right now, and I just hit 17.0 MPG, and that is nothing but intercity driving, and 2 hard launches from this morning.

Here is an update. 480 to the half. The best is usually 450. I may not see the end results, because tomorrow I am going to load her down with green oak wood.

Oh and ther miss is still there on and off. I'm gonna have to leave it this way until something lets go, because the dealer can't or won't do anything until it throws a code which it hasn't.
