    Fuel Economy M35A2 vs M35A3

    That makes a lot of sense and explains why I get so much more mileage with my empty A2. I'm still not sure why I get so much less with my empty A3 than some others do. When the weather improves, I'll go through the truck and see if I can find the cause.

    Fuel Economy M35A2 vs M35A3

    Thanks for posting that chart. I get considerably more than the 5.15 - 6.18 mpg shown in the chart. I'm almost getting twice that. I know my speedometer is reading correctly because I've compared it to my GPS. Almost everyone I've heard from gets better than those numbers. When I first got...

    I recently recovered an M35A3 from Fort McCoy and completed a 1000+ mile trip home, most of it on the expressway. My newly acquired A3 averaged 6.37 MPG over the whole trip. I have driven my 1969 Kaiser Jeep Hercules LDT with D turbo several thousand miles since I recovered it. I currently...
