Great Mpg Day Today


Recommended Posts

Posted

Well I was out driving around North Texas today looking at property. I had our Handycam with me and I was getting some good mileage today.

 

I thought I would get a shot of it for all the Tundra driving non-believers out there, so they'll know how well a Sierra can do on miles per gallon. :)

 

Keep in mind, this is on E-85 also.

 

Not only is E-85 running great in my truck, but with all the fuel tank drilling going on out here, even though I would be pissed if someone drilled my tank, at least I know that they won't get very far before they ruin their non flex fuel engine with E-85. :)

I hear that even a few gallons through it does a real number on a gas only engine.

 

Also, Hogan is my dog in the back of the truck, not the kids doll in the backseat.

Ah...It's Robert Plant.

 

I think it's from "Fate Of Nations" CD. That's funny you said that because my wife calls him the Dying Guy.... :)

 

She hates it..... :)

 

Cats in a bag....I like that. :D

 

You know there's a ton of stuff on that Ipod and that just happened to be on at that time...

Not bad.. I have to admit, I don't trust the DIC's MPG #'s, but here are some from a while back for me...

 

While moving from North Dallas to North Fort Worth, with the truck loaded.. I guess this was about 30 miles into the cruise from Addison, along 190 and 161, down to 183.. This was somewhere around Rufe Snow, along 820, if I remember right :

This was somewhere out in West Texas, heading towards El Paso :

For a "big damn truck" with a 6.2L motor, I'll take it. :)

 

Congrats on those #'s with E85. I doubted it would do that good. But, with the #'s jumping around, it looks like you had recently reset the AVG MPG. Still... Considering what you're driving, not bad #'s! :)

Yep! I didn't see the road real well, but I know of a few "grades" along there. We don't really have much in the way of "hills" around these parts.. :)

That wasnt your wife in the backseat was it ? :dunno::nono::lol:

 

She just read that.... :lol: She says now you've hurt her feelings.

 

Funny you should ask.... Ken.... being from Monroe and all.... :lol:

 

Her mom and dad just happen to live right there by the Riverside Golf and Country Club at Arkansas Road and Gulpha Drive. :lol:

 

She's loading a picture of your Silvy Crew Z-71 in her PDA right now, and is going to be on the lookout for you next trip down.

 

She says she would love to .....AH.....Talk to you. :D Maybe y'all could meet where you took that fish picture next to the river where your truck is parked......Ah....Fishing...Yea that's it, maybe y'all could do some fishing? :lol:

 

Did I tell you guys that she was a U.S. Army Drill Instructor for 7 years. She was (is) an expert in Collateral Sabotage and has seen 2 tours in Iraq as a Interrogation Specialist. :lol:

 

You will know her when you see her. She's the good looking blonde chick that keeps her own jumper cables & Vick's Vapor rub, with her all the time.

 

Oh...I forgot to say she works for company now that teaches private security firms "Haganah"

 

Here is a page from the web site where she's an instructor:

OK...Good luck with that Ken..... :lol:
