Holy good god bro. 18-20 mpg highway????????? Are you driving 130 mph the entire time on the highway? Lmao. Dude, I'm getting 26 mpg all day long highway doing between 70 and 75 mph and that's even having 3:73 gears. Now city driving , I have no clue because I don't live in or near a city. 14 mpg for a our V6 seems on the low side to me.

i get like 27mpg at 50-55 and like 25 or so at 65-70. i think around town at 35-40 i get like 18-19 tho.

Thanks for the reply Kona, it sounds like a tune is better than viagra , lol.
Any downsides to tuning? Lower life expectancy of engine for example? And what is your opinion concerning BBK aftermarket parts? Worth the cash, or go to another company? Sooooo, many questions. |

With my 2.73's (yes you can laugh) im gettin between 20-22 city and 35+ highway between 55-75 mph. Once i get close to 80 it dips closer to 30mpg. I put a new intake filter on but otherwise stock. Im lookin at 3.55 gears, straight pipe exhaust with resonators and electronic cutouts, and new rims and tires. I know this is all going to affect overall mileage but i dont thnk it will make that much of a difference, will it?

Alot of it has to do with the gearing. The ling gear, especially sixth is great for cruising. Around town i can easily drop into low teens and even more so on the country backroads by my neighborhood. I just want that grunt off the line so i wanna go 3.55's |

3:55 would definetly give you more grunt but 3:73 or 4:10's will give even more grunt and still great for daily driving on highway and city. I debated for over a year about 3:55 or 3:73 gears and super happy I went with 3:73 gears. That gives me really sweet down low grunt and no regrets. Lol
I hate having big money decisions to mule over for years :(( |
