The g/f and i decided to hit up Palm Springs this past weekend and being the curious person that i am, i thought i'd check what kind of gas mileage i was getting with the lift and 35's w/ stock 4.10's. The picture above tells it all and needless to say i was nothing short of shocked; especially since we stopped for gas and hit some mild traffic with mixed speeds. Anyway...just thought i'd share. Thoughts?

Has your truck been recalibrated for the lager tires?

I think last summer going down to Palm Desert I got about 14 mpg :jester: Of course the fact that I made it down there in 3 hours in heavy traffic doesn't help. Once I hit 10 I was doing 90+ the whole way :anitoof:

Where's the pictures of the rims and tires ?

If he didnt recalibrate he would be getting better than the DIC is reporting becasue he is actually putting more miles than the truck is logging!

Ya that thing would read 12-14 if he didnt recalibrate. Thats pretty cool you can get that with 35s. When I had my s10 it got crap for milage but randomly on a trip I got 23mpg because it was all freeway compared to the 15 or so I normally got.

no...the truck has not been calibrated.

The drive back yielded 19.6mpg...and going through the rolling hills from riverside doesn't help gas mileage worth crap...that's for sure.

pics coming...thanks for your patience.

I'm running 295's with I think 3.42's and a 28 gal tank. Went to FL last week, got about 270-300 miles to a tank. So 9.64 mpg? Idk why my truck gets SHITTY gas mileage :/

 

[RassyMX]

Only thing i ever got that kind of milage in is my cummins, and thats when i baby it.

When i had 4.10's with my old 6.0 I got like 9 mpg highway. :rofl2:

 

[Alden]

no...the truck has not been calibrated.

So basically, you're getting 22.44 MPG.



20.4 x (33"/30") = 22.44

DIC's arent accurate anyways :lol:

my last 2 silverados and the tahoe never match what i get when manually calculated.

 

[theholycow]

DIC's arent accurate anyways

:word: But still good, even if the DIC was off by 20%.

okay no problem. just email me or pm me when you have some.

 

[mylesc46]

i got 18mpgs a couple times thats uncalibrated tho. so a little better than that... has to be perfect conditions tho.

 

[IMI4tth3w]

damn. i was happy when i got 19 in mine with stock tires.

 

[Bumpers]

Awesome you must have been goin like 55mph the whole time.. My truck gets like 23mpg at 55 but I am usually in the 70-120 range

 

[Manbearpig]

I get 20mpg @ 65-70 with 3.73's and my 33's
