What type of mpgs can I see with 7x0.010 if I have a light foot? I just ordered a set from DAP and am going to replace my 50hp injectors that I got years ago from diesel speed shop. The best fuel economy I have gotten with them lately is 18-19 hand calculated at the pump. I'm very very light on the throttle and usually the slowest on the road cruising at 60. I could have sworn that when I first got those that I hand calc'd near 20-21 but can't seem to get those figures anymore. Also had the pressures set to 310 bar at a local shop and they told me that 2 were starting to leak but that it shouldn't affect fuel economy and might only be a bit smokey on startup (which is what I was experiencing before). This is why I have chose the 7x0.010 injectors and to also have a little fun sometimes. I have a quadzilla adrenaline with v2 tuning and am planing to dial in those injectors really well for fuel economy. I'm going to start with mopar1973mans tune and adjust from there. Also, is there any timing difference between the stock 235 hp engine and the HO with the 17.2cr? I'm wondering if should adjust my timing a little lower or possibly higher to compensate. I also have the HO vp44 but I may go to a SO in the future to see if there will be any differences in fuel economy with the HO motor. Thanks guys!

    I originally was going to order the sac injectors but ended up going with VCO's for max fuel mileage. Everything I've researched has seemed to have said that VCO's will get slightly better mileage ove

    Hypermiling is the point at which you have gauges for everything. Basically anything that creates heat is a loss of power. Reduce heat loss by reducing weight, wind drag, and rolling resistance. Like

  • It is the art of trying to get every last .10th of a mile out of a tank fuel. By whatever means. I like good mileage as much as anyone but on my by weekly trips to and from home for work I dont drive

I just talked with the girlfriend and I am able to leave my current wheels and tires at her house. I got a pair of 3rd gen 17" wheels with 265/70R17 Hankook tires. One thing I didn't realize though is that they are the steel ones and not the alluminum :doh: I got them for $90 though so I thought that was a pretty good deal. 40% tread left too. Hopefully I can get better mpgs with these since my final ration will be a little closer to what it's supposed to be. It looks like the weight overall though is going to be only a couple pounds lighter per wheel/tire than what I have on it right now. I just hope that my fuel economy goes up a bit.
