Hand calculated? Id like to see that.

Come on over! U think I would waste my time and lie? He is towing a pretty big camper from Vegas to Ely for hunting and it is measured fuel consumption. However, I can not guarantee you that the traffic was the same, the temperature was the same, the load the same etc, etc,..

Thanks for the info....I have a 4.10 with limited slip and 16 inch 265 tires....so it sounds like I have the worst combo for mileage.....but thats ok it is a nice truck at a great buy ( i think) 6k new tires also ..will have to look into a new cpu or sending out for reprogram..any input on where to send?

GT4 is 3.73
GT5 is 4.10
G80 is Limited Slip

Don't expect much gain from that engine. You might get 30HP or so total with a cold air intake, free flowing exhaust, and a powertuner like Diablo Predator.

Well, he just came back from another trip and reported 10% better than stock and was *****in about it... His drive is about 4 hours north of vegas.. Oh, well maybe the 30% was a misscalc... I dunno...
