My truck was averaging 19.5mpg. This was mostly driving the 45 miles 1 way to work back home on the interstate at 65-70. Truck is a bone stock '93 2wd dually with 3.55 gears and stock size 215/85R16s. Even has teh factory exhaust still on it. I did turn up the smoke screw a bit but that didn't change my cruising characteristics at all.

Once I get back to CONUS I'm going to be installing an exhaust, differet turbo housing, injectors, and intake system. Then I'm going to get another baseline mileage with that combo. Once I have that then I'm going to install a supplemental hydrogen induction setup which should give me a 20-25% mpg boost.

Last time I checked, The Crossbreed averaged about 16, with mostly town miles. 4x4 dually, 5-spd, 3.55's, 235/85R16 mud treads. The only mods I'm aware of are: cranked up pump, ventilated airbox, and open exhaust(3 1/2" into a 6" stack)

A couple summers ago, I hauled The Packrat to Hays, for cruise night.(5.42 gears make long trips reeeeeeaaally long.) With a 1 1/2ton truck on a car trailer, I make 13.8, roundtrip.
