Gas

[Stredoug]

How are the Excursions doing on gas mileage with the diesel engine?

[HorseTrucker]

My wife is getting 15.5 around town, 20+ on the road PSD only has 2500 miles on it. At the 10K mark when the engine is broken-in expect to get 17.5 in town 23 on the road.

They get great gas mileage since they don't burn gas!

We understood what you meant by asking about gas, even though you meant fuel mileage. I saw that you have made 3 post, so don't let the more politically correct and sensitive members keep you away. You will be giving advice one day if you stick with it. And yes sometimes members don't always phrase their question correctly.

Don't know. Never put gas in my PSD. I do get 19+ on average on diesel fuel.
