I was only able to go 65 cause the speed limit was 60

 

Personal best ever 21mpg. Every mile on the tank was Highway. That was flat land, cruise control set to 69mph (just under 2k rpm), new oil/oil filter, new air filter, properly inflated tires.

 

Hmm... In my 3.0 I get 16 city and 24.8 highway. I am not lifted but I have 31" tires. And I just found out about the 25 mpg when I drove up to longview a couple days ago. It was a 7 hour drive and I was going 70-75mph. So I say it is possible.

 

most of the people who clain their gas mileage do their calculations wrong... or have scan guage II's with the wrong spec's entered in.....

 

This is where I do my MPG calculations

gas mileage

 

I drive seventy miles to work roundtrip each day and with my 3.0 2wd im getting 22.5mpg. Stockish ,for the most part , but its religously maintained. Also running 30.6" tires so a few inches larger than stock but not enough to do anything i would think. average speed is 65 also entire way to and from work

 

With my 3.0 2wd I get any where from 20 mpg to 23 mpg (mix of city and hwy). So its possible if you drive it right.


btw I use http://fuelly.com to track my gas mileage, its a neat little site.

 

? lol

again ?


I would never buy from someone who A. does not know exactly what the truck has or B. does not form complete sentences and uses u instead of you. ugh!

 

we got 24mpg with my cousin's escape on our trip to Oklahoma. Im almost certain that has a 3.0. its definetely a V6

 

I betcha I could get more than 25mpg. Highway @ 45mph, 5th gear, w/38psi. (My truck is completely stock powertrain/suspension/tires but, I have a K&N stock drop-in filter - not that it really matters)

 

I once got 26.5 mpg on a trip from Rapid City, SD to Sioux Falls, SD on I-90. It's flat as a pancake and I kept it steady at 55 mph, plus I had a 45 mph tailwind. I've never gotten close to that since.

 

55pmh in fifth is the sweet spot for our trucks.. any faste and yous tart losing mileage - once you hit 70+ your screwed... thats why I hate driving from here to Spokane/Cour D' Alene - 6hour drive, all at 65-70 once you get out of the Gorge area here... I got good mileage the first half, then sunk down to like 13-14 on the highway... plus - I also had a big load of stuff in the truck for camping soo -shrugs- :-p

 

The best MPG I ever got with my 3.0 5spd was 28mpg. I was following my dad towing the RV at 65mph the whole time. I had the AC running the whole time also.

Avg highway is 21mpg or so unless I speed.

Avg daily driving can vary from 16-20mpg.

 

The one thing that I think everything is missing is that your gearing in the rear is obviously going to affect where that "sweet" spot is. It's basically 2000-2200 RPM in 5th that really will get you good mileage. With my 4.10s, I sit right at about 2800 RPM at 70MPH.

And obviously, you as a driver can improve mileage by using Neutral a lot, etc. blah blah blah... it's been covered a 100 times. Haha...

 

x2

 

"My Auto 3.0 lifted on oversized wheels is slow and gets bad mileage, waaaaaaaaa. "

 

"I'm just an idiot with a ****ty old truck and mad that people with nicer trucks then mine don't like them, waaaaaaaaa"

 

meh i think that was more of a florida joke than a dig at people with nicer trucks

 

I'm impressed.

I love my truck.
It may be old, But its not ****ty.

You have a beautiful truck and ***** about it more than anyone I have ever seen.
You may call mine a ****ty old truck, But at least I dont cry about it constantly.

And as nice as your truck is, I would never trade mine for it. Ever.

So I must be soooo jealous of your truck, Right?


So, In yo face.


"Waaaaaaaaaa"




More like a "korey *****es too much" joke.

 

Because I cant stand it. And IDGAF if you think I ***** too much. Quit reading my posts if it bothers you that much. Its that easy.




More like a "korey doesnt give a ****" joke.

 

lol,
I was just giving you a hard time at first!

Either way, my ****ty old truck gets better mileage and more power than yours.

 

Exactlyyyyyyyyyy why I hate mine

 

Haha.
Good point.
