I have alot of mods to mine PSD and the best fuel mileage I have acieved is 19.99mpg....

Yes the diesel will do some massive burnouts....

The torque is there as well...

I take it easy on mine because it will shell out the trans in no time..

One of my next mods is to go in the trans...

The donut thing I dont do...

PSD's rule...

GAS milage!!!

You don't get any gas milage out of a diesel!!
If you even think of putting gas in your diesel engine, it will disown you!!

My diesel gets pretty good fuel milage: 10-12mpg towing my 30' loaded camper and 19-22mpg unloaded. 22mpg would be interstate traveling about 68mph. 19mpg is city, stop and floor it at all the lights (I've got a bad leadfoot)
I do have a chip but it's in the lower hp range due to using it for towing. It does give it more get up and go power than stock when not towing, but not enough to do any burn outs (unless I'm on sandy or wet roads) Only smokes a little when going WOT under full load. I've done some turns with it (but not on purpose)
