I own a 2004 Crew Cab 4x4 with the LLY motor. It has 75,000 miles on it and it is still stock. In the summer on the level with minimum stopping at 60 mph I can get 20 mpg. I am looking at purchasing a fifth wheel RV with the weight of between 8000 and 9000 lbs. Can anyone tell me about how much my mileage will drop. I know that the faster I travel over 60 the more it drops without a tow vehicle. I only get about 16 at best at 70 mph. I have thought about installing a Bully Dog and am also interested in anyone who has experience with them and how much it improved their mileage. Thank You John Ada, MI

Replying to: steergazer (Jan 15, 2008 10:21 am) Isn't fuel in Canada sold by the liter (L)? And do the odometers in Canada read in km only? So you convert L to galC and distance in km to mi. Right? Do Canadians usually report fuel use in liters consumed per 100 km driven (L/100km)? Could you give some raw data and show how you do your calculations to get mpgCanadian? |

Replying to: steergazer (Jan 16, 2008 11:39 am) ballpark: if the wheel/tire combo is twice as tall as the stock combo, and about the same weight, it's going to cost at least twice the energy to get rolling (and stopped) compared to the stock tires. (you'll wear out the brakes faster too.) |

Has anyone tried Motor Kote yet in a 6.0 ltr Diesel?? It's an additive. saw the web site and am a skeptic. I will not use Lucas anymore in the winter ... it is way too thick and hard on turbos and injectors. This other stuff looks good but is it??? |

I'm interested in hearing from owners of the new 08 Ford F-250 with the 6.4 liter Diesel engine. I'd like to know what kind of mileage city and highway you are getting. Also what gear ratios you are running. I'm considering a new 08 and want to know more about the fuel economy of the new 6.4 in a F-250 4x4 supercab short bed with 3:73 gears, auto trans. Thanks.
