Why I love my CRD.

[CRD Joe]

Took a little highway trip to Eastern Washington to go backpacking.

324 miles and one tick ABOVE a quarter tank. Ya gotta love that..

Wish i could get that out of one tank of gas.

I am not doing near that, but I did install a GDE econo tune yesterday, and filled the tank today. Have a 100 mile trip to make this week so will see if it made a big difference.:shrug:

Since we all know you like to hypermile, is this with mirrors folded in, 50 MPH etc
Just curious

 

[CRD Joe]

57 MPH at 1700 RPM on cruise. Mirrors folded in. I'm not sure that's hyper milling.

 

[tommudd]

have to try that with the gasser and see what it does
Thanks !

I'm so very jealous.... I jump for joy if i get 450kms to a tank

 

[CRD Joe]

Finished the tank. 705 miles. 19.6 gallons.

36 mpg

I just got back from a small trip, didn't top the tank off before leaving so had about 70 miles of short trips on it. With fresh fluids and filters and tires at 34 psi, the cruise set at 80 mph, 2250 rpms and a 30-35 mph side wind out and back, stopped and filled at the same pump and used 12.97 gallons for 273.3 miles for 21.07 mpg. Not the greatest but with the speed I was running and the side wind there and back, not going to complain.

I don't know how I did it, but had it on here twice?

 

[darkesha]

Its almost unbelievable.
On a open highway I get around 650km, which is just around 400 miles. You got almost double then that.

I just checked it again, and running short trips and trying to keep the speed down, it still only did a little under 22 mpg, I guess I don't drive as economically as I should.
