David Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 Im no expert but that looks like a gas guzzler to me. nice rig tho.

BassJunkie Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 I highly doubt 15 mpg, but thats a nice truck fo sho. 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free.

sean 371 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 If I drive freeway for the majority of the tank, I can get into the 15's, but normally, my bone stock tahoe gets around 12-13. Theres NO WAY thats getting that good of mileage. I'm guessing its been regeared, so it's probably better than it would otherwise be. But probably still shitty. You don't buy a truck like that looking for gas economy. A couple links to some box builds: Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI, Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150 My own car builds (current setup --- under construction): Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors Subwoofer Wall

doughboi916 Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Posted May 10, 2007 lol ya i know, im just tring to get some input, its a tbi so i dunno??? what yall think?
pstone11 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 mine's a 95' TBI (454 tho).. but only a 6" lift with 4.10 gears and 35's.. I get 6-8 MPG, around town.. So he might get 15 on the freeway.......downhill.........in neutral.........at sea level...... Check out StoneSounds to see my recent builds.Or look at the Flying White Facebook Page!
grumpy409 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 you wouldnt get 15 for sure. doubt even 8... i have a 99 chevy with 35 inch tires 6 inch lift 3 inch body and i am close to 11 driving freeway everyday...
doughboi916 Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Posted May 10, 2007 if i get it, would taking off the body lift and downgrading tires help??
