I get 5-6 MPG in a non-turbo deuce. That's running 55 mph with no load.

I have made 2 long trips in 2 different deuces. Both around 1200 mi. I was getting 12-13 mph avg. On the road keep the tires aired to 50 psi.
The next long trip at 1600 mi in an M109A3 without air shift transfer. Mileage was terrible. Probably 6-8. Putting an air shift transfer will be the 1st order of business.

we've been getting 12-13 avg. with a water buffalo of 400 gallons and deuce loaded with younger pine trees... front tires at 55 rears at 50, always newer fuel filters and other fluids. Seems like the newer low-sulfur diesel added a mph...has anyone else noticed this?

Some of these are jeeps and come with 40" tires stock, just food for thought!

The 70 gets about 14 highway it runs on synthetic lubricants and has the front lock out hubs. The 67 has a higher rpm engine and get about 10-12 mpg highway and also has the front lockouts and a winch. All on single tires. One has radials and the other NDC.

O.K. Guys,
Fess up. What size tires are you running to get 12 to 13 miles per gallon?
I know that there are things that we can do to improve the efficiency but sounds like someone needs to post a short list.
It would be really sexy to get that kind of MPG in these trucks. I could afford to drive it to work once a week like that.
Probably good for the truck too to get excercised on a routine basis over sitting for a month at a time.
Inquiring minds need to know...
