    What kind of gas mileage do you all get out of your V6's??? I was getting HORRIBLE gas mileage and found a vacumm hose on the front of my carb that was plugged and one on the passanger side right next to the PVC on top of the Head and connected them and it seems to run smoother, idle quiter, and get a little better mileage. But I am still only getting about 15 MPG. I am my hard top which adds a little weight I know, but I thought I would get better mileage than that. Oh yea I have 31" tires on it. Am I in the right ballpark for MPGs?

    Only 15? Sounds right to me. We've had lengthy discussions in the past here on fuel economy.

    well 15 is pushing it. It's probably more like 10-12. It does seem to be doing better now that I connected that vaccum hose

    I've closed this thread, saying we've discussed it before is a polite way of saying "Please search". ;)
