my stock Dually gets 20 but 30-34 just and happinin
STOCK being the key word here. These motors respond very well to mpg when the correct mods are added. I read up on Crabbelle's thread awhile back, and have been reading up on Garmons 55 mpg wonder machine.
Am I skeptical, yes. Do I think it's possible, yes. Do I think these guys are simply blowing smoke up our ass with those mpg numbers they've given out, not at all.
No two trucks are the same, no two motors built exactly alike will act the same either. Tuning, tuning, and more tuning.
Personally, my truck gets 18 mpg. I want it better, and will tune and tweak to get more out of it. Eficient motors make more power, and are more economical, which in turn translates to better mpg.
Anyone that call's BS on a claim like 30 mpg, or even Garmons 55 mpg, I want to see the proof WHY it CAN NOT get the claimed mileage. Physics and engine theory withstanding, I feel no reason to discredit the two numbers I've given here.
Sorry for the thread derail. I'm all for making efficient, economical power, while still having fun. Post up more combos, I will be reading.
