Gas mileage

[B.C.]

Do they make a smaller bumper for the front ?

I don't know.
It would not be hard to have something fabricated out of metal in any size you want .

Also lots of people just remove them altogether.
Swapping out the grill is also a popular thing to do.

But there is Nuthin like a rumpy ,bumpy cam idle. And the sweet smell of burnt race gas !.

Hi Series 6 got Ford v Ferrari from the library watched twice this week ! Such an awesome movie ! My wife was pissed that Ken got shafted by Ford and she hated ending ...ha

I remember watching it on tv, screaming "No, no, no" while it was happening. I was in high school and even I knew what was about to happen.

Ken Miles was my driver hero, Dan Gurney a close second. Shelby #1.

When I started riding motorcycles, I wore a black helmet, just like Miles. He was cheated.

In the mid 90's I worked for a auto dealer group owned by a man that had been in Ford's pr department at that time. I asked him about it.

And all that anger came back.

1.86 is what I paid today at 3:00

I dropped tire psi to 36 from 42 cuz I started to see wear in the middle of the tread now I'm noticing drop in mpg. Maybe ill bump to 38 or 39 ?

 

[Lil G]

Dang wild that 6 pounds of pressure made that much difference. I guess what I’m trying to say is I could see it going from like 30 psi to 24 psi

 

[Cape taco]

Its weird I thought it was from being cold 16-25° on our last trip a few months ago to Conn. That's when I got 16-17 .but yesterday was 47° out .so its gotta be pressure. I know in my hotrod I ran 32 and it bounced all over the place I dropped to 28 and you'd think I changed suspension out .

 

[B.C.]

Why not add 2 psi and try that.
Can also do the chalk test.

I know on my motorbikes 1 psi makes a difference in the handling.
As summer days get hotter I have to let air out because of the psi increase from spring.

Okay, I'll bite....

Is this a the result of filling the tank, getting up to 65, downhill with a tailwind?

 

[Raeburn]

Just about 20mpg average, city highway mix

I would have thought that the taco did better.
Smaller truck, smaller engine, and not much better than my Ram with the Hemi V8.

I averaged 14 to 15 when I had my Ram with the Hemi.
