Trip results
For some who were recently inquiring about oil usage and gas consumption with '97 4x4s with 3.73 ratio, I promised to keep tabs on my recent trip west. Here are the figures.
Best milage:19.5 miles per gallon in 413 miles from Flagstaff to Santa Fe using cruise control set to 78 mph, with a 5-10 mph wind at my back, Sinclair 88 octane gas.
Worst mileage: with only 200 lbs additional cargo, 14.5 mpg for 336 miles, with 25mph head or crosswinds, using cruise control at 78 mph and Texaco 88 octane gas.
Highest speed traveled: 85mph when passing.
Total trip mileage: 2561 miles, and averaged 16.8 mpg.
Total oil consumption: 3300 miles on one quart (dip stick reading)
Elevation change: from 560 ft to 9,450 ft and back again.
