Whats your average mpg?


I get about 17-19 average commuting, but I spend a fair amount of time sitting in traffic.

You know I forgot about traffic. I do spend a little time in it every morning.
 
here is the bottom line. the way you determine gas mileage is by filling your tank and resetting the tripometer to 0. you then drive the the truck for at least 200 miles. you then fill the tank. take the total miles traveled and divide by the # of gallons it took to fill the tank.....if it comes out to be more then 28 you are either lying, doing it wrong or going down hill the whole time........
 
I am going to get one of those "Tornado's".........then i bet i'll get like 50 MPG's

those tornados dont work. yeah maybe it might help the gas and oxygen mix a litlle better but it wont do that much. i had a tornado on my car and didnt notice any difference in power, acceleration or gas mileage. jsut save ur money lol
 
^^ agreed I've read they got sued big time...

those thing don't do crap..

:badidea:
 
Well when I got the truck when it was 2wd it got around 28mpg now,? um, around 15mpg
 
This website makes it easy. I gotta dig up my receipts from previous years and add them sometime.

Did you figure that out all by yourself? I hope you didn't hurt yourself trying to figure that out.

.....if it comes out to be more then 28 you are either lying, doing it wrong or going down hill the whole time........

Hey, I'm not lying and I don't appreciate being called a liar by some retarded jerk.

I drive 260 to 270 miles per week. Depending on outside average tempurature (that week), I put in 8.4 to 8.8 gallons.
My driving is almost all highway. My truck is equipped with 3.73 gears, a 2-1/2-inch exhaust, 19 lb/hr injectors, K&N air filter and the Baffle in the intake was removed. I also use a snthetic oil.

I set my cruise control at 60 mph.

The worst mileage my truck got was when I had an EGR valve problem. The mileage dropped to 26 to 27. The only other time I saw a mileage drop is when the ICM wasn't working properly.

If your truck doesnt do this good, then don't blame me or call me a liar. Its sorry SOB's like you that make coming to forums like this unpleasant.
 
yours may be a unique situation and certainly not the 'average' results
folks experience with these machines. good on you to get that kind of efficiency, but you can can expect people to be skeptical.. since your figures are out of the normal range.

this works well, IF the trip odometer is accurate.
 
Mine does pretty good and I drive all highway. It gets right at 30 MPG but seriously, I drive it pretty easy. I never drive it over 65 MPH.

I don't do any city driving so I don't know.
How come a guy with 222 posts doesn't even know enough to fill out his vehicle profile.....and you want me to take you seriously..........the feds have my 99 at 19/21/24

Don't you know that using the R-word is frowned upon.some equate it to using the N- word...............The reason I explained how to compute your mileage is that a lot of people were saying things like I get 580 miles to a tank...etc........that is why I explained it...............and I said "they are either a liar, they don't know how to figure it out or they are going down hill"........I left out that some are probably smoking some good weed.......

*the tornado comment was meant to be sarcastic!!!
