FYI, I was getting my 4" tailpipe adjusted for fit when a new PSD showed up to get a 4" tailpipe installed. In course of conversation he mentioned that he only got 16-18 mpg empty and 11-12 towing a big TT. Since he only had 12K miles and a Banks chip to go with 3. 73 gears he was hoping the mileage would get better with breakin.
He was kinda surprised that my basically stock 96 auto with 3. 55 gears is getting 22-23 mpg when loaded light and flying close to the ground. I haven't done a long pull on mine to the extent of being able to check mileage but I assume that 12-13 is what to expect.
Out of curioisity, is there a big enough mpg difference to notice between the 12V and 24V when hauling heavy? I have heard that unloaded the 12V gets 1-2 mpg better but does that hold for hauling?
My next vehicle WILL be another CTD.
