Drove 144 miles and only used 8.6 gallons of gas for 16.7 MPG!!!!!

Unheard of. Best I ever got before was 14. AC was on too. I actually had to turn it off up a really long steep grade as temp started to climb. Went home back down the same way, mostly downhill.

Yes, filled up until it clicked off and then went back to the same gas station and pump. Obviously not exactly 16.7 but somewhere around there. I was late on the way up and was doing 80 up some of the grades so could probably get that down a bit. I cruised back home.

I'm moving out of town and wanted to know how much it was going to cost me for the round trip.

I'm swapping the Sunset Strip for this

Hey guys, I havent posted in awhile but since I always got a lot of motivation and ideas from you guys builds I wanted to share an update on my 2000 Z71 OBS Tahoe. Bought it with 111k actual miles for $2200, it has 116K now. I replaced all 7 brake lines with NiCopp lines, new brakes, drums rotors. New glass spyder headlights, SNGL Leds, and clear markers. Did the 4-Hi headlight mod using relays and 10GA straight off the battery. Did the Big 3 updgrade with SGX 0 gauge copper cable. Added another battery tray, PAC 200A Batt Isolater for Dual Batteries, ran 0 guage all the way to the back to an Anderson Style Quick-disconnect for the car trailer winch to connect to. Full interior LEDS, new Joying Audio Head Unit, upgraded rear coaxials in back. Did the Escalade luggage rack swap. Heated Tow Mirrors. Just put on the new Method 304 Double Standard Machined wheels with General Grabber AT/X LT275/70R17 tires. Installed Maxx Cam 2 torsion bar keys, Tuff Country Leveling Kit, Rough Country UCAs, Bilstein 5100s, new bump and jounce stops, cut off the droop stops. Upcoming projects for new year - I have a Lincoln Mark VIII monster oem elec fan, trans cooler, I have the really loud four note old Cadillac horns to install. Hellwig rear sway baar. Tint the wondows (darker). Rough Country front steering stabilizer. Re-install the front brushguard and get it and the sidesteps powdercoated.

I have a brand new Z71 front bumper, just havent gotten it painted or installed yet. Im very happy with its progress, what do you guys think?20201031_160036[1].jpg 20201031_162731[1].jpg 20201031_160036[1].jpg 20201031_162731[1].jpg 20201031_160015[1].jpg
