engine size alone does not determine fuel mileage. my car gets better mileage than a lot of 4 cylinder cars. like the evo, sti, wrx, etc... |

I have one of those in the Jeep and I can make it read whatever I want. If I coast down a hill for a while I can get it to max out at 99mpg. That doesn't mean I really get 99mpg. :1 Taking off from a stop going uphill it will read about 2mpg until I get going for a while. :l __________________ Best Car Insurance | Auto Protection Today | FREE Trade-In Quote |
Re: Bought a new (to us) car yesterday.
Nice purchase, I have an old 2001 expedition with a 4.6 and it is a gas eating dog :( It gets the job done though. The extra size of these big trucks make it really nice for dragging a trailer. Plus you can pack all your junk inside away from losers who like to steal stuff at the track.
I would take a chevy motor over the modular fords any day, and if mine ever dies it will be getting a 4cyl cummins swapped in :) |
Re: Bought a new (to us) car yesterday.
My mothers Yukon is alright on gas for a 6.0. I gotten a best of 23mgp on a long trip.
