Mileage comparison after 2 tanks running PS / 2 stroke / mmo in a 16/16/8 mix...

Running with PS (16) and MMO (8), I was getting 17.2 MPG when I hand calc'd it.

Running with the 2 stroke mix, after 2 tanks, both averaged out to 18.6 MPG.

Same kinda driving.....day-to-day....18 -20 miles to work and back.....unloaded.

My Dodge gets 16-18 mpg city/back roads and 19-21 highway (my overhead displayed higher, 24 mpg on the highway most times. A liitle off). I have a Banks system with alot of power and good gas mileage. I put on 33" tires &front end 2 1/2" level kit. Took a trip from the Bay Area to Phoenix and only filled up the tank once one way.

I posted the wrong axle previosly should be 3.73 axle. I have kept accurate mileage reading since purchasing the truck, but I have only put 10k kilometers on the truck. Odometer is at 55k kilometers
