what is the average gas milage of a cucv?
i was thinking about getting one since i already have a deuce and now for some reason i have to get a m1008 or a m1009. all i really want to know is the gas milage for one to see if i can use it as a daily driver and ive used the deuce as a daily driver for a while

You're driving a deuce daily? I can't imagine... that's hardcore right there. :razz:
Yea, I'd say I'm getting about 18mpg in mine but I don't do long hauls in it.

I got just over 18mpg in my M1008 on the way home from picking it up. 4 hour ride, all under 53mph and very few stops. I wasn't sure how reliable she was going to be so I took it very easy. I can say that the bottom half of the tank is MUCH smaller than the top half. The needle falls fast under a half.

I have a dancing needle in my m1031 but it gets about 13mpg loaded or not, pulling a trailer ect... (uses about 12 gallon of fuel per 14 hrs using the gen ) (averged with about 66 hrs total time)

My M1008 gets about 14 mpg city and about 15 to 17 at 55 to 60 mph on the high way.

And about 4 hours off road .""Stoping, going, 4H ,4L Mud, Hill Climbing,Ect...""

My M1009 has been getting around 20 mpg. Pretty good compared to my old F150 4x4 that was around 10.

With my M1008 I have got anywhere from 12.4 to 17.0 mpg with it. Faster I go, the worse it gets.

With the M1009 on the first tank, I got 20.4mpg. That is with a mix of city and highway.

I just calculated my gas mpg on the m1009, 22mpg!:beer: Oh what a feeling! Beat that Toycrapa! It was from home to the Findlay show and back and then some small running around (217 miles) and just filled her back up, took 7.667 gallons. I'm really happy now!

Had to correct my previous stated, it was 22 mpg not 28, sorry for the typo.
