Want Tips For Improving MPG

I’m literally at like 250 range after fill up.
Have Wildpeak Rubitreks. What should my psi be? I managed one 22 mile trip that was 24.5, but my average and range is horrible. Normal city driving with 2/3rds highway about 7-8 miles each way.
This is what you can expect, psi isn’t going to help much. Only thing that’s going to help is a long range fuel tank which there are none yet.

At this rate of MPG discussion I think probably it is easier to just get one of these dual NATO Jerrycan mount on the roof rack. 40 addition liters of gas can get you keep running for 200-250 miles

Yeah I considered pitching that but you’re still getting out to refuel
 
Just for argument’s sake, so “being respectful” means something different depends on whether you are driving Model Y, Prius, or Land Cruiser?

Also the word “reasonable” is a very subjective term. Some thinks any car in front of them will need to get lost, speed is irrelevant. Some thinks the minimal highway speed is posted speed + 10, and there is no max speed like we are on autobahn. Some thinks big car driving is the law....

The truth is there is no such thing as "being reasonable". Our law is supposed to be the common denominator but I will say close to 100% of the drivers commit ticket-able offense at various rate during their driving, even police offers sometimes are confused about what the law says and promote their badge into the hammer of the judge in the field.

So I would say the best law to follow is what the law says and drive a bigger car. Then you will be almost always the "reasonable ones".
Respectfully, I think you're giving law makers WAY too much credit.

Man-made laws are different from real laws, (like the law of gravity for example), and should be viewed as such. If the man-made law says the speed limit is 60, and you're doing 60 when everyone else is trying to do 70, and 70 is a perfectly reasonable speed, then you're just being an obstacle. When you're an obstacle on the road, the law of reciprocity takes over. The law of reciprocity says that what you put out to the world comes back to you. So if you're being an obstacle on the road, don't be surprised if other drivers return your level of "courtesy" or "respect" with the odd middle finger.

:LOL: Can't wait to hear you tell the cop that pulls you over for speeding "I only obey real laws!" and give them the middle finger.

That WOULD be funny, though I'm not sure it would make my ticket price go down. ;) Funny story, many years ago, my little old Grandmother once got a ticket for rolling a stop sign on Christmas eve. When she protested because it was Christmas eve, and the officer said he still had to do his job, she said, "I hope Santa Clause shits in your stocking!" :ROFLMAO:

Humour aside, my real point was that being courteous and respectful costs nothing, and I wish more drivers realized that. Some days, I just wanna drive slow and take in the scenery. When I do, I PULL OVER for vehicles approaching from the rear and let them pass, rather than expecting them to go the speed I'VE chosen for them.

It costs me nothing, and is just the right, courteous thing to do.

Conversely, this rule does not apply in urban settings or interstates. That rule is go with the flow of traffic. Anything else is righteous selfishness.

Funny that is the same reason these God Damn kids told police when they were surrounded at a cross-section doing side show and aimlessly shooting their hand guns to the sky - Everybody else all doing it, I am just following the real law.

If you want to talk about the “real law”, that is whoever drives bigger car rules. How do you think that petty middle finger will do to a 18-wheeler driver on a slope driving at 40 mph?

Remember, being courteous and respectful to the law of the people always trump to the ones breaking the law. I do not feel slightest guilt to whatever “law” these law-breakers think they are following.

:LOL: So the rule is to go with traffic...in a whiteout...into a pileup? Right. Don't be selfish and save yourself, your passengers, and those in cars around you...just keep up with everyone because you wouldn't want to be alive (but righteously selfish).

You're also inadvertently contradicting yourself. If everyone was courteous and respectful, and man-made laws don't apply, then nobody would have any problem with any speed that anyone was driving. Why should you have to speed up past the speed limit for someone who doesn't want to drive it? Shouldn't they be courteous and respectful and slow down? Or, are you going to tell all the tractor trailer drivers to pull over on big hills so you can keep up with the flow of traffic? No.

Sorry, no. Your "rules" don't apply to the law and what is enforced. I bet if you were in a group of people speeding down the interstate and were the one guy that got pulled over, you'd be complaining "but everyone else was doing it".

Wow...didn't mean to trigger you.
