So this monster(details in sig) had been getting piss poor fuel mileage around town as mentioned in another economy thread...5-7mpg hardly ever getting over 45 and tons of stop and go....and a heavy right foot. Lol
My last road trip(before my Mad Max front air dam), I averaged 15.4mpg with 12-16 stops and a few small towns with 35 zones. 65-75% of driving done in the 55-75 range.
Today's road trip(with air dam) I averaged 16.7mpg...with about the same driving conditions...this time, I made a few jaunts up to 95mph and held 85mph for quite a few miles on open country roads.
Roughly 1.3mpg improvement with higher speeds...thank you crazy looking air dam!
BTW, driving around town is 9.7mpg when driving...not so heavy footed. Lol
