Scary Mileage
I generally don't like mileage threads as it always seems we are reporting a decline in mileage. I don't get Red out on the highway enough to get any kind of reasonable mileage, but I promised a guy to carry a set of tires to Tidewater plus visit the grand kids. The newest mod is the 6.1 dual coil setup and the engine really feels crisp. Filled it up with 93 as I run the SC on a 91 tune and off I went. I really don't know how many gals are used when the needle sit on the center mark but if I've been playing it can be as low as 170 miles, normal driving it is about 200 miles and today it was 245. I have had my truck since new and before the bigger tires and TC I have seen 230, but not for a long time. Amazing what a locked up converter running at 65 mph (2000 rpm) will do.
