Had to post this here too...
On the way to Houston last week I got a staggering 21.06mpg in my Z!! :eek: 13.94 gal and 293.7 miles on the tank. :rock: Pretty kickass!
On the way back it dropped to a mere 18.03mpg. :sad: 16.09 gal on 290.2 miles. Nice 20mph headwind.
Average them... 19.54 :smile: I can dig that all the time. Not bad IMO for a 5600lbs truck with 285 ATs and running 3.73:1 gears. :whack: Soon I'll be sporting 4.56:1 gears!
i checked mine today coming to work....filled up in kingsville and filled up in palacios before finishing my journey out here...160 miles and 12.3 galons = 13.0 mpg...boosted a few times around some slow pokes...went around a t/a right b4 getting into palacios :cool: the guy got all pissed off and ran up on my bumper and then turned off :lol: dont have time for pokes :bash: but it was kinda funny :lol:
Hey if you see a red convertable vette w/ a tan top, about an early 90's model kick his ass for me will ya. He thought I was trying to race him a few weeks ago and hauled ass around me. So I waited awhile after he got in front of me to see if he was going to slow up but he didn't so I punched it and came up on his back bumper at about 105-110 and let off. So then he punched it while I cruised at about 90. He made the turn onto 35 from 521 and mashed on it again so I made the turn and mashed on it after him and flew up on his bumper again at about 105 and let off again so he hauled ass into town and I just turned off and went to the house. Can't wait to meet up w/ him again in a couple of weeks to realy show him what trucks are made of...Zed
cool...i'll keep an eye open when i go to town :hshake:Quote:

That is the kind of mpg that I can only dream of. For some reason, my truck still doesn't get over 15-16miles per gallon.Quote:

That is great mileage!
Oh, sorry for hijackin earlier, that is some sweet mileage. I have yet to put mine on straight hiway and be sane enough to get good mileage out of mine. But I average about 17-17.5 back and forth to work everyday...Zed :whack:
That's sweet! I can't get 13 out of mine lately.
heheheh...its called lead foot :lol:Quote:

Why would that have anything to do with it? (grin)Quote:
