99 SE - What does it weigh & what kind of mileage should I expect?

 

[kmagnuss]

Did your rig not come with a manual?

12-16 mpg (US)

4600 lbs approx.

 

[TheBoss]

yea, but it's outside in the truck.

Figured somebody like you would know off the top of your head.

Another question - Should the air bags drop down over night?

 

[TheBoss]

Also:

The dealer should be able to run my VIN and tell me if there are any recalls the vehicle qualifies for - correct?
Recall maintenance should be free of charge - right?
Would they also be able to tell me it's maintenance history across all dealers?

 

[kmagnuss]

no, yes, yes, yes

 

[TheBoss]

Now that we have a couple of tank fulls under our belt, the i button tells us we are averaging 17.3 mpg around town, and a bit of highway back and forth to work.

Better than I figured!

It lies. Use a calculator.

Awesome! Thanks! :thumb:

Especially: "... I did have an accident a few months ago, somebody went into the side of me, and I actually hardy noticed!"
Well, was she drunk? She owns an old Disco I, not a tank... (or a Range) 8)

It, of course, assumes the petrol pump was accurate

 

[TheBoss]

LOL!

Ok, I'll do it the old fashioned way, with a calculator.

For crying out loud my F-350 Super Crew gets 16 with the 7.3 and it weighs 4 tons!

[TheBoss]

Where do you get a RAVE disc?

That's the GVWR... completely different than the curb weight.

 

[ZEERANGE]

[TheBoss]

You guys were right, it lies!

After a 200 mile test we had a average of 15.77 MPG over standard commuting/highway/around town driving.
