Lookin' For Someone to Talk MPG

MPG is just another corner of the performance envelope.

Cummins guys do everything else - surely there is at least one guy out there in search of some payback on OPEC.

Dont listen to those guys. They are trying to get me banned!

I use a throttle cable. When god wants to help me down a hill I let him, I dont engine brake down the hill fighting god, i let him go ahead and give me an extra 10 or 15 mph and I use that speed to climb the next hill. I have gotten a best of 26.5 empty and 21.3 with that big old Truck camper loaded for BEAR!

I am tall geared turning 4 mph/100rpm. I use GPS also to cac my odometer error which is 11% at 1500 rpm I am going 60 MPH. Typically I set my throttle at 1900 RPM which yields 55 MPH on level ground empty when driving for mileage meaning I could hit 70 down hill and slow to 40mph uphill. With Camper I set throttle at about 2300 which yiels about the same speeds.Once you get used to it it really is easy heck i set my throttle at 1300 in the city and use it driving in traffic, it is easy once you get the hang of it and it will give you incredible mileage!

You can use it in 4 wheel low and it keeps your engine of the idle limiter when creeping on bad roads. I hear jeepers use a TC also. Try it if you want max mileage. My formula for ma mileage is

1) Throttle Cable
2) Tall gearing
3) slow speed
4) Free flowing intake and exhaust

I still want to take off my radiator fan and go 45 mph to La empty and make a stab at the holy grail of 30 mpg. If I ever hid that then and only then will I run naked around the flying J screaming F with me now Saudi Arabia. I wonder if you can go to jail for that??

We need to have a sanctioning body and do mileage convoys. I know there is a truck out there that can do 30 MPG and we need to find it!

Tim, I demand that Joe be given 5 points! This is what happens when a red neck new yorker living in Mississipi loses his wife.

This is why I did not go to his house, he is getting too touchy feely. It is sexual harrassment for him to profess his love of me on a public forum, especially after hints of me being naked has been said. I dont swing that way!

What Joe does in McHenry when his wife is gone needs to stay there!

Joe, Get a sheep like Billy Goat has! You perverted dog!

No amount of your gibberish will protect you from me spanking your mileage! I think we all see your claims of mileage and HP are BS! One day you going to have to line up against the Space Shuttle and you will be wasted son!
