Default What's your gas milage?

I get about 420Km's to a tank, thats about 260 miles. Is this good or bad? In my cavy, I got atleast 100 more km's and it was a smaller tank and a bigger engine.

I got 280 miles to my last tank, and when i filled up it took about 14 gallons... so that put me around 20 mpg which isnt bad since my last truck got about 14.5 mpg.. but i did expect to get a little better than what im getting

this is about correct. from what I read, the outtie is heavier than the cav... that + its AWD. and a severely underpowered engine 160hp stock (there was a hooked up element I saw with drop inmods -intake, exhaust, ECU reset- and it only managed to get dynoed at 170hp LOL)

lets it breathe a little better, and I think its washable so you dont have to buy another filter. might boost your MPL slightly

The K&N should help a little....but it's still sad for a 4 cyl. It eats liek it's a 6!
