hey people, i just wanted to drop some info....before the last fill up, i upped my PSI in the tires from about 32-35 to 40 PSI...... before we flame broil monica on the Good Tread Wear lecture, the tires are marking pretty well. I can tell when i go from pavement to dirt road.... Anyway /wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif normally, where the gas gauge sits at the last white line before the dotted red line, the trip odo would be marking around 268-275.... FYI, my trip odo says 295 /wwwthreads_images/icons/shocked.gif neato /wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif

hwy/city driving habits were the same. i used cruise control on the same stretch of roads that i normally use at the same speed. outside temp has been consistent. the only thing i did was fix my interior courtesy light and air up the tires a lil' more...unless those courtesy lights really do help the MPG /wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif

i still need to open the gap on the spark plugs, but i can't find the little gapper flapper measuring thingy /wwwthreads_images/icons/mad.gif now is prime time so i can fill up and keep tabs on the mpg.

Fourwheeler did a test this month(June issue) About playing with tire perssure too increse MPG and at the low end of it they were running about 30-35PSI and on the high end the tires maximum50PSI and went up 2 MPG! Test veicle was a 2000 d*dge dakota crew cab with the 4.7 engine, And they drove it on a highway loop over and over with cruse on too come up with there figures.
295 is nothing though, My 81 with a 6 popper has in the past gotten 10 MPG and with the duel 20 gallen tanks you could go 400 miles before filling up/wwwthreads_images/icons/laugh.gif.
