Stock MPG

What MPG can be expected from a stock M1008?

 

[lindyp38]

15 - 20

Mine as it sits now on 37s gets about 16.5 on the highway @ ~55 mph. On stock tires I was getting about 1.5 mpg higher highway, but with a much lower top speed due to gearing. Also, I rarely burn straight diesel, and almost always mix in WMO or 2 Stroke oil.

I ALSO MIX WMO AND DIESEL ! WITH THE PRICE OF FUEL THE WMO IS FREE NO BRAINER IM IN MICH SO THE MIX IS NOT AS HEAVY IN COLD TIME OF YEAR YESTERDAY PUT ABOUT 8 GAL OF FUEL OR $30.00 AT $3.59 A GALLON AND 2 GAL WMO AT $0.00 A GALLON AND I GET 17.5 TO 18 WITH THE STOCK SIZE TIRES JUST AS THE PIC IN MY AVATAR

Is it about the same for the m1009?

 

[rnd-motorsports]

NO the 1009 have dif. gears 3:08's so you will get better milage with a 1009 the trucks 1008 1028 and so on have more a work gear 4:56

If you do some searching, there was a good thread where folks were posting their mileage reports for their CUCVs....

Somebody should bump it back to the top.

Sorry to sound ignorant, but what is WMO?

I got...

...13.8 mpg (average - both w/o and w/ trailer) driving 75-80 mph from TN to FL recovering the MEP 003A genset from dirtyfingernails...

I drive like I stole the 1009 from the motor pool...

I just towed 2 snowmobiles on my trailer with my M1008, averaged 50 mph 230 miles it took 12.45 gallons of fuel 18.47 MPG but that was on a trip around town less.

So what does this do? What are the benefits? My M1009 got 19mpg before I lifted it and put 37s on it. I dont know what it gets now, tires throw off the odometer reading

Can you put WMO in any diesel??? Please explain more any what ratio to mix, and what benefits do you see?

WMO lubricates far better than the ULSD. Burning it (filtered) saves on fuel cost since it's free.

My conversion for speed/ distance is about 115% of what my odometer is displaying.
Ex: 55 mph displayed*1.15 = 63.25mph actual.
10 miles displayed*1.15 = 11.5 actual

What is the filtering process?

 

[ssgtcampbell77]

The WMO doesnt jack up your fuel filter?
