Just added intake, exhaust and custom tunes. I also have 35's so anticipate to have some error in my mpg readings but this is a little crazy.
Running stock the lie-ometer said I was getting 13-14 mpg. After mods I went for a drive. It initially shot up to 24mpg (yeah right). I reset and it shot up to 99 as I was rolling to a stop. I stopped to get fuel and decided to reset as I was planning to fill up. The pump was terribly slow so I only got $30 before I gave up. Left the station and noticed my meter said 8.0 and 81 miles to empty although I was just under 1/2 a tank. I drove approximately 42 miles. Meter eventually climbed to 11.5 mpg. The strange thing is the meter only dropped to 68 miles to empty and the needle doesn't even look like it moved. I stopped twice and shut the truck off hoping to see things reset.
Is there any explaination for my readings to be this inconsistent?
