365 miles. ONE TANK.

[LittleBeast]

You folks need to try Lucas gas treatment. (No, I don't own stock in the company.) It costs $10.00 for 5 tank fulls and you get 40-50 more miles per tank.

I honestly did not believe you as I have tried these things before with very little effects, but I just got 2+ more MPG on my last trip using the Lucas Fuel system additive, thanks, I will be trying this out some more.

ok, I'm sick of being the low man on the totem pole on this, I've not scratched 300 except for a couple of times and typically ALWAYS get 270 on a tankful, it's annoying hearing all you people getting mid-300's
grrrrrr!!
I was going to mess with the spark plugs to see if they're in need of replacing but I will also try the lucas tx first, ANYTHING will be an improvement here....

Change fuel filter. And then tell me about the exhaust you have coming out at idle?

[Joe Isuzu]

fuel filter changed at 90k

say, here's a thought I had this morning
I'm running at factory settings for the tires which I believe is 30, I'm certain it's low to try and improve the ride or to improve your off-road ability (guessing on that one)
all you lucky dogs who are getting such great mileage, what PSI are you using in your tires?
that would be an easy fix if everyone is running higher than stock, I realize the higher the pressure the better your mileage but also the more quickly it wears out the middle of your tire so I'd like to find a happy medium if everyone IS running increased pressures

I ran about 38 on the way to moab, and got about 375 miles.

I now run 35 on my 33"s because I don't like the way it handles with 40. I only drive 3 miles to work, and take my Scooter on most days.

I fill up about once a month.

Was that on your OEM 18's? Or the larger sized-tire you have?

I forgot to address the exhaust question, I guess I didn't quite understand your question. If you're talking about the rev's maintaining a high number even when you lift off the gas, that got remedied by bleeding some surplus tranny fluid. It's still not the way I remember (could be my memory) it but it's definitely better than what it was. Exhaust is still loud to me but I'm learning to adjust for the time being.
I got the gas tx last night and pumped up the air pressures. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I think what J is getting at is... does your exhaust seem like its coming out too fast or smell rich of something (more specifically does it smell like fuel?) if it does, a likely culprit would be your fuel pressure regulator, common problem and typically replacing it is good for 2-4 mpg

Wow, thanks Etlsport, we would have gone a couple more posts before I figured that one out! At 90k+, it could be anything, so the fuel pressure regulator may be bad, haven't smelled the exhaust in a while, honestly I try to hold my breath around it, as far as I remember it smells like exhaust to my simple nose, I will pay more attention next time to see if I smell anything odd
For that matter, how easy/hard would it be to replace if I wanted to just do it anyway? I'm figuring with the mileage it wouldn't hurt

couldnt hurt.. the part will cost you less than a tank of gas (about 50-65 bucks depending where you get it)

getting a set of snap ring pliers will make things easier.. i got mine for 20 bucks at sears with a whole set of tips for them

another piece that will make it much easier is a 6mm allen wrench that is cut shorter.. i think i have one laying around that i used when i did mine.. pm me your info and ill find it and mail it out along with the instructions i used
