OMG My Gas Mileage!!! General Question Need Everyones Help

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

Just filled my tank up yesterday and she did 17.5 mpg with mixed driving. I didn't compensate for slightly bigger tires (stocks are 29.6 in. diameter and my Revo's are something like 30.2 in. diameter IF I remember correctly.) I am Supercharged with cold-air intake plus K&N cone filter and am running Mobil 1 Synthetic lubricants for everything.

If your mileage is much worse..as mentioned in previous post...check your brakes (especially rears) to make sure your caliper sliders are releasing properly, which would show up as uneven pad wear if they are not.

I had starting issues a few years back and changed out my Fuel Pressure Regulator which resulted in much better mileage too.

just another mpg figure for people to reference:

my scanguage II lists my average mpg at 16.5.

the speed has been gps calibrated and my "miles till empty" is accurately calibrated to within a mile (+or-). so i assume 16.5 mpg is accurate.

daily commute includes 80 miles of highway driving and 10-15 miles of city.


edit: stock tires and a/c on low 25% of my drive time (guestimation)

edit: edit: i began using cruise control for my 80 mile rt commute and have increased my milage to 17.6. It doesnt sound like a lot, but it's another 20 miles a tank....

I had great results with Marvel Mystery Oil recently. I was going to put some in the crankcase and the fuel tank but used it all in the fuel tank over a couple of tank fills instead. It increased my mileage while towing. I got 225 miles per 20 gallons on the first two legs while the oil did it's job. After that, I got over 300 miles per 20 gallons... towing!


Disclaimer: No tire or gear changes were taken into account while estimating for this post. I suck at math.

Has anyone ever heard of putting 2oz. 100% Pure Acetone to 10 gallons of gas into their Vehicross or any other vehicle to boost the mileage?Here's a site to read intohttp://www.pureenergysystems.com/new...900069_Acetone)

Well, duh, it's a marvelous mystery! Nah, forget "3-in-1 oil"... I have used Marvel in the past in my air tools for lubrication, vehicles that have sat for a while - top cylinder lubrication, and crankcase additive. I think this was the first time I put it in the fuel tank though. It is great stuff, you can even use it as a gun cleaner and on thread taps! I am thinking that adding a shot of Marvel in the oil and in the fuel system, and then later, using the sea foam treatment, changing the oil, and then using the Marvel indefinitely will help prevent that sludge induced 3.5L failure from occurring. I get it at Napa, but I think all auto parts houses carry it.
