Any mpg increase with DTT , vb & tc ?

[TREEMAN]

Have any of you guys with Bills vb & tc seen any kind of improvement in your fuel consumption,that is after youve gotten used to the new found power at the rear wheels. It seems to me that as the vb & tc are more efficient than stock ,that would mean an increase in mpg . Am i correct . Thanks in advance. Ian54

I have had Bill K's TC and VB on for about 6 months, I see about 1. 5 to 2 MPG increase on longer trips, around town its about the same or a little less than it was before installation, however before installation I didn't stick my foot in it everytime I came along side a Fraud or Cheby. Jack

Ask me at the end of May? After I leave Bill K's shop, I'm heading east and by the time I get to Europe with my slide-in camper, I'll have a 10,000 miles comparison.

None, maybe slightly worse.

I do quite a bit of city driving, and my mileage here has gone up about 1 to 2 MPG. Doesn't take as much go pedal to drive around in traffic and stop light to stop light scenarios.

I've been keeping a close eye on the mileage before my DTT upgrade as well as after... it appears that my DTT enhancements have made a 1 mpg increase OVER the BD components. #ad


Thanks Bill! #ad

Thanks for the reply,s guys. As I suspected its all in how heavy your foot is . I know it will take a lot of restraint to drive economically with that new found power at the rear wheels. Oh well i,m getting used to the fact i,ll probably never get the mileage i want unless ilet my wife drive . Ithink not!
