The best polycarb on the market, hands down.

Good to hear. Watching Bad Grammar I like the size of the insert. So much smaller diameter than most calls. Seems like it would fit in my hand better. Figured I would give one a try.

The new trucks are pretty sweet , I just bought a 2013 gmc serria crew cab with the 4.8 litre v8 flex fuel , It cost me 100 105 from empty and I get 1000 or more kilometres to a tank.
It is unreal , my old 03 silverado would get 400 to a tank and it was about 140 to full,

You get a rough ride around here MojoS, I typically try not to join the angry mob..BUT... I'm calling B.S. on that milleage.

Your claim is light-years away from the posted milleage. I drive a 2013, 5.3L Sierra. The posted milleage is far better than the 4.8, and I don't come close to 1000km's a tank. I would guess your 4.8L is lucky to get 600km/tank (90L tank)

Big Jobber..... That was his mileage from the factory to the dealer on the car hauler... lol

The real question here is how many MPG?

The real question here is how many MPG?

One of the most subjective and often inflated figures out there. Lots of variables that not many take into consideration when figuring it out. On most pumps if I fill my truck until it clicks off I can easily squeeze another 5 to 10 litres into it. If I don't repeat the process every time I fill up and then start figuring out MPG my number will be way off. Fill it up right to the top one time and then fill it until it clicks off the next time and do my calculations on that my MPG is going to be higher than it really is.

With todays vehicles and on the on-board computer that calculates the average, is this still an issue? Sometimes I fill er to the Teets, others im in a rush and it clicks im gone.

So even though I don't have the extra 10 litres in there, my driving style hasn't changed, and my average consumption stays the same.

It was a joke. MPG in a country that measures distance in km and fuel in L

I've never understood the use of L/100km here rather than just km/L. It's much easier to look at your odometre (see what I did there) and the gas pump and divide the two numbers.

BTW, my 2000 Silverado has gained 10% in fuel mileage over the course of its lifetime. The difference? A 16 year old was driving it when it was new, a 30 year old drives it now

Once when I was in university and working with my father, I tried to convince him that we should start using metric for his carpentry business.

Me: "So much easier when you can divide by ten Dad"
Dad: "What are the dimensions of an 8 foot 2 by 4 then, son?"



Me: " You win"

Since I helped de-rail this thread, I will attempt to get it back on course.

I would like to get a new boat this year. A have a 10 Jon, 12 foot Jon, 16 foot Canoe and an 11ft Marsh Rat.

I think it's finally time to upgrade to something a little bigger, little more powerful. Not getting any younger, so riding in a slightly more comfortably boat would be nice.

Not likely getting rid of any of the others though, lol... I like owning a fleet of boats.
