last night i decided to try my luck. i allways wanted to break the 300 mile mark on a tank. i got 10.3mpg on this tank half was city half was highway all 2wd. i was really proud of her! it gets alittle scary with the light on though...i normaly fillup at 1/4 tank or even 1/2tank now a days w/gas prices.

it was $120 last night for 29 gallons at 4.02/gal.

ive done that. do you have this problem i have? i think i have it cause i have the wrong tank, but when your down hill it says less gas and starves the engine, and up hill says you have more, and when you turn right it starves the engine too? haha they are all looking good! im going to wash mine tomorrow after i do fuel and air filter.

no issues like that for me but it seems pretty normal just depends on where the pickup in the tank is. i've never had any issues with it being starved though. in my explorer i have tho! that sucks!

Gas is "only" $3.60 here but I am riding my bike 90% of the time so the expy can make a tank of fuel last about 3-4 weeks. 40 mpg is so much better than 12. :pepper:

yeah i'm very happy with the wheel protector works great!!

today i started my paint mods, i have alot more planned but i want to try and get as monochrome as possible but with the chrome accents if that makes sense.

painted the D-pillers..i like the look others may not but i like being different.
