Re: Rear axle volume...
Your gas mileage sucks!
I just checked mine again today and fully loaded for camping running 50
miles in 3rd gear 4x4 low and the rest on rural roads (top speed 50 mph)
through towns with stop and go at lights and I just did 260 miles from
the last fill up and put in 60 liters.
Conversions are a pain, but I believe that works out to about 17 mpg. I
guess it would be city/off road more or less.
Just running on the highway, I normally get 21-23 mpg or so.
I have the 258 with the BBD and no computer turning 3.31 gears with 33"
tires on a 3" lift. I kinda like that damned BBD, it performs for me
and I don't mind doing a tune up every couple years....
