98.8 going down a mountain side after reset. Seriously though, 22 is my avg hwy. Cat delete helped.

 

Hahaha, yeah gotta love em. I was doin 45-60 up hills. 3 speed auto with overdrive and 4.56 gears. Torquey for a truck with spark plugs but wouldn't pass newer diesels up hills.

So what's the best modds for better fuel economy?

I'm looking into doin a 5" exhaust(mostly for tha sweet sweet sound and lower egt's)

 

Best I got stock was 20 at 55-60mph. I have not measured since I've gotten the Edge but should do that one of these days.

 

Not too shabby, So basiclly what you guys are saying is that I should just be happy with what im getting. espcially since I have the quad cab/long bed combo.

 

I didle alot so when i filled up the other day it was all in town and probly 10 hours of idle. I got 9mpg. If i dont idle alot and am on the road i get about 17-23 city 10-15.

 

I'm averaging 18mpg all around. Been better, been worse. It doesn't help I lug around a couple thousand lbs in the bed full time. My sweet spot is 65mph for milage with the G56 and 3.73's.

 

Cold air intake, free up the exhaust, and put an airdog or fass on it. That'll net you a gain of about 10% on mpg. A progammer will help too, after the newness wears off, and you resume to driving in a civilized manner. I'm getting about 22 empty, and 12-14 pulling. oh- don't use the cruise control in mountain areas, just consistant pedal pressure, and keep the rpm's below 2100.

 

I have a 5000 mile road trip coming up October, I'm pcs'ing from anchorage Alaska to San Antonio Texas. Plan to make it in 9 days. I'll be pulling a 32' gooseneck cattle hauler with most of my house hold goods. I will take pictures along the way and let you know how it goes. I know I won't get the best MPG, but it's not miles per gallon that matter but "smiles per gallon" ha ha

 

i did the trip from fort hood texas to fort wainwright alaska and made it in 7 days of straight driving and i drove through canada i didnt pull a trailer but the truck was loaded down with everything o could carry cuz the army transportation office at hood jacked me around but thats another story

 

Yeah that an finance always ***** stuff up too
