Oil pump shim query


Recommended Posts

Yeah, over 31. Seems too good to be true.

 

Not taking my MPG into consideration.

But.....when I left.....the gas gauge was reading 1/4 full.

When I returned.....it was 1/3rd empty

Seriously...... :)

A mechanical riddle....sort of. :rolleyes:

So....I finally filled the truck up yesterday. Topped it up myself to be sure it was full and then put 240 highway kilometers on it, Kamloops and back. When I returned it cost 27 bucks to fill.

I added 10% on the mileage because of the 30x9s I'm running.....so lets say 265 total km.

$27/$1.08 = 25 liters

265 / 25 L = 10.6 Km per liter X 2.825 = 29.945 miles per gallon! (imperial)

Would of broke the 30MPG if there was no highway construction on route. :P

Note... this is not a flat highway, many hills following the valley through the mountains

I am impressed :D

Plus I got a rather nice comment on my truck from a guy at the other gas pump...... :cool:
