250 miles round trip

[FC1]

250 mile round trip city and 2 lane highway. Average mpg was 29.8. Was running 65 to 70 mph. To me this is great. I haven’t tuned it yet.
will it get better?

I’d say it’s really good not knowing anything about lift or tire size or anything like that.

What were you driving on your trip?

I’m thinking all stock. Tires and all

Remember you're driving a square box down the road, wind will kill or help milage a lot.

As mentioned, having the aerodynamics of a brick means that higher speeds hurt mileage more than a more aerodynamic vehicle. My High Altitude came with those same tires. If I drive right with those tires I can get similar mileage. But swapping to 35" offroad tires has probably hurt my mileage a little.
The trick is to go just fast enough to let it shift into 8th, and hold it.

If you go stage2 with stock or economy tune you could probably do a bit better. Depends on what your goal is? Max mileage possible or a mix of mileage/power?

Stage 2 tow tune with 38s flat roads I see 24 or so when I stay below 70, shoot I recently did a 400 mile trip hauling a 6500lb trailer and still managed 21 at around 60-65mph
