275 on prostitution

If anyone has ever picked up a prostitute they understand how expensive it could be. I haven't so I wouldnt know exactly how much but ill just stipulate. My car on the other hand goes through gas faster than a hooker offering $35 VJs. I dont know if my foot tends push the gas to the floor more? Or my 275s all around just drag more than oil tanker in the water? Either way. 4 full tanks at 13 gallons in under 3 days of driving. Oh well still gives me a grin ear to ear. So F it.

I wonder how much mileage I'll get when boosted?

I'm getting about 250-285 KM per tank ATM..

Can't wait till I'm boosted and we go on a huge cruise, need to fillup every possible stop.. ahaha :D

How much miles are you actually driving. How much is in the city? highway? Days don't mean a damn thing if we don't know how many miles were driven.

You need to give us more information so that we can tell you if it is normal. I go through about 14 gallons a month, driving about 50 miles a week.

Also to answer your question about 275s, yes they will increase the rolling resistance and will reduce your MPG. I would venture a guess and say no more than 1 to 2 MPG less (same driving style and no other changes).

Ball busting and lack of humor.

So that total increase in tire size is only a 1-2mpg difference? Did a 40min freeway drive 70mph cruise control and lost about 1/8th more. Dont matter the price for fuel for more footpads.

you might figure out what tire dia is, and how it effects the speedo and the actual miles registered..

the 275 size has little to do with it..

Im not talking about how many miles I would normally get. Just driving from my home to a location in seattle I got a general idea it takes just under a 1/4 tank with no traffic and today it was 3/8th gone. Maybe its a mental thing or I need glasses?
