(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I decided to check my gas mileage on the 2.0. (stock Djet)
I filled up, with 89, drove 100.03 miles, averaged 50 miles /HR with slow traffic at times then fill up again. The tank took exatly 2.60 gallons. If i did my math correctly thats about 38.5 miles per gallon. Is that real? |

Could be close on straight highway driving, not stop and idle etc. My 75 d-jet i've done 33-34 on interstate on a 5 hour trip, @75, did one trip since rebuilding my tranny at scotty b' s dr.evil rebuild clinic and @ 200 mile trip was close to 40, but that was to test my gear ratio change of 4 & 5 th. . Seems to jhave made a big difference.
