Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) average mpg's on 24v

[Gonzo 1066]

I would like to get better Mpg's on our 99 2500 4x4 auto with a EZ box on it. We are averageing about 16. Is this normal??

I am at 15-20 mpg depends on how hard/often I have the comp box on.

MPG's

I'm getting just at 20 MPG on the hiway, but it's a 2wd and a stick. Most of the time I run with the comp off because the injectors are plent BIG :-laf :-laf

 

[Graphic man]

comp box on 3x5 and getting 18-23 MPG

before comp 14-17 MPG

the trick is, drive like your grandmother, stay around 60 MPH

[AKAMAC]

My best was 19. 6 towing a dual axel trailer loaded with a 63 F100 to Los Banos, empty trailer back. CC set at 60 MPH. I filled on return; trip to LA the next day.



My average commuting 50 miles a day in Bay Area traffic is 17. 3 MPG. (after Marco) The shell I have robbed me of 2 MPG from my stock mileage.

If you poop along at 55 mph and under (try to stay between 50 & 55 mph) you will see vastly improved mileage. As you go drive faster, you will see mileage fall off like a simonized piano. Just remember that as you double your airspeed, the increase in drag is squared. Hence the huge drop off in mileage about 45 mph which on average the most efficient airspeed for most SUV's and trucks. I get between 22 to nearly 25 mph on occasion driving these speeds. It is kinda tough driving when everyone else in driving 75 & 80 mph. I live in the right lane.

[DRiddel]

I have a 2wd standard with an Edge Comp in it. When I had the pump wire in I got on the average 19-20. When I took it off and worked it as an EZ I got 19. 5 city, 22 highway, 20. 5 average. The best I got was going on a trip to Arizona and I got 24. 4 mpg during the summer. Before I put on the Edge 17mpg.
