This truck is a daily driver, and is used for towing. Nothing too heavy, never more than 3500lbs, for now. I may get a 24-27' offshore boat down the road, but not for a while.
Fuel mileage is a big concern with this truck, so I try to stay out of boost, and keep it out of PE. I currently have PE coming on at 95kpa and 30-45%TPS. Is it ok to boost at 14.7:1 afr? I figured no, so to be safe put it into PE.
I'm going switch to 2bar SD, and maybe go openloop, so I can lean it out at light load and save some fuel.
I'm currently getting 14-15mpg, not to bad, thats about all it got stock. But I was getting 16.25-17mpg last year at this time.
Gas is around a buck a litre here. It cost me around $80 a week to drive to work. So far i've been getting away with 87 octane, and no KR.
