I got 19.5mpg on E85 in my Stealth yesterday driving to Dallas. 70-85 the whole way for the most part. That’s like 26mpg if it was gas.

This guy talked about his gas mileage hauling a lot. It’s an hour long. Don’t watch it. But with his 3.73 gears he got 6mpg loaded and 7.5 just trailer.

You're doing it wrong

my explorer got 12 unless it was exclusively highway. then it somehow got mid 20s.
montero....dunno. probably in the mid teens
swift....44. no matter what. thats what it gets.

Don't make me pull out the 67 Charger with the 440 and 3.91 gears. Not to mention the leaky fuel tank. That thing only get Smiles per gallon...and tears to my wallet. lol.

This was more difficult than I expected.

Got a great deal on custom shaped covers. Factory ones were just starting to split and kept getting these balls of fuzz built up on them.

I'll tighten them down once broke in a bit.

Looks good!

One nice thing is that I can also add heating elements to these down the line if I want. So I can have heated seats without needing to swap out the seats completely.

I approve.

Not in my budget at the moment. But I want this.

I thought tundras got a 38 gallon tank stock?

Not mine. It's only 26 or so.

But...i dont care about gas mileage. Pffft!

I dont. Just would be nice to not fill up as often. I dont care that cost is still the same on average over the mpg. I am happy with the 12 I am averaging right now.

You realize...nevermind...

Same reason I basically could not get a GM or Ram truck (yes Ram has an optional 34 gallon tank but it's hard to find and figure out if it's on a specific truck). Their tanks are tiny especially when you put a trailer behind them. I want to pick and choose where I get gas and not be forced to drag a 30ft trailer through a gas station designed for smart cars.

Yup all short beds have 26gal tanks. Apparently all long beds get a 34gal tank. Still need bigger. lol.

You guys and your insane need to make up for things with a ridiculously large gas tank

If you all got better driving and towing MPG to begin with, then you wouldn't need a larger gas tank.


PS. coming from a 34 gal tank Ram owner.

The only half ton that gets decent towing gas mileage is the 3.0 Duramax GM trucks. That was my 2nd choice but GM doesn't seem put the tow package on many of their trucks
