DUBS FTW
i found a new respect for my 20" wheels, this past weekend I traveled out to detroit for my sisters wedding. Its around a 1400 mile round trip, so driving an SUV with the price of gas these days, i wasnt looking forward to it. In January, I drove out to detroit for the Autoshow so i had an idea of what to expect with gas mileage, but i was pretty suprised.
January Trip
1400 miles
5 tanks of gas
3.42 gears
Stock 16" wheels and tires
AVG 14 MPG
August trip
1400 miles
4 tanks of gas
3.73 gears
A/C on whole trip
20" wheels and tires
AVG 17.5
For an increase of 3.5 mpg, WITH A/C on, AND 3.73(over 3.42), i think thats incredible. Both trips i had the same driving behavior and speed range. Also this past weekend the return trip took 2 hours longer due to sitting in traffic.... so, DUBS FTW
