MPG info.
1st tank - 30.195 mpgs
2nd tank - 29.95
3rd tank - 31.12
My guess, we are hauling somewhere between 500 and 700 pounds of "stuff."
As stated previously, after the speedometer settled down, the Cruise worked fairly well at and above 60 mph. Seemed to "hunt" below 60 mph.
Okay, got the Malone Tune this afternoon ......... Gees, what a difference!
The starting issue is gone (fingers crossed...LOL). The extra torque across the RPM range is definitely "much" improved. Also, accelerating at about 1900 rpm in 4th gear is very doable, whereas, previously, that was a no, no and had to be achieved with a shift to 3rd gear.
Back to the Cruise, after the tune, it is very settled at speeds down to 30 mph... no hunting or kicking-out!
