What do you think your fuel consumption is?

The 2001 Suz.. 500, atleast what I was told, is around 15 miles a gallon...

Thanks for all your time.

not sure per gallon but I can get around 60 miles on a tank before I go to reserve. I have never had to use reserve so I am not sure how many miles i can get on the gas that is left in the tank. I am guessing close to 20 miles if you are nice to it. The gas mileage seems to get a little better the more I drive it.

with a 4.7 gallon tank 80 miles equals about 17 miles per gallon.

my buddy's 400 auto gets the same as I do, i think the fact that I have a manual compensates for the bigger motor

www.Gorilla-axle.com These axles will handle the pressure of oversize tires and extreme angles. They are $350.00 each for the Cats.

The 500 Auto has a higher final gear ratio of 3.1:1 and the manual 500s have the 3.6:1.

350.00 per axle, does that mean that the rear is one axle, or does it count as two.

ODB i know that this is getting off the original subject but I noticed that you have your cat snorkeled. How hard was it and do you have pictures/instructions on how to do this. Also how much did you pay for the locking front end and where did you get it? sorry for all the questions but now since I am not getting an extended warrenty it is time to have fun!
