I'm Awesome
C1500 RCLB
I am wanting some input on my truck. I can get about 85km using 1/4 tank with the 38 gallon tank. Truck is a c1500 with 235/75/15 tires I think, and cruises at right around 1600 at 100km. Might be at 1800-200 at 110km.I usually drive at 110km/h and I think I get right around 10/11 mpg with my truck. highway
I don't think this is right for the truck and should get more than that! I know; it is equipped with roof visor, bug deflector, tires a little low, vent visors, about 300/400 lbs of gravel in back for winter, 325,700km on it, what sounds like a bad u-joint, and a real nasty misfire that I can hear/feel in the truck which do not help mileage.
What can I do to get better mileage? Only thing I wont do is take the vent visors off, and the roof visor. I have a very light foot. I can`t really afford this mileage as a student, I might as well drive my 1980 Trans am that probably gets 14 mpg. I know the motor has lots of life yet because has no signs of high mileage wear except a little leak that has been taken car of.
**I`m not expecting huge mileage because these trucks are just bricks in the wind**
