my last reading this weekend was 15.9 mpg, on a full tank fill up. But I'm in the flat lands, at elevation 13 - 100 feet above sea level. Have done the Seafoam induction cleaning, MAF sensor cleaning spray, recent plugs, boring straight roads.

I can get almost 400 miles to one tank if it is all highway with no stops.
Daily driving I am averaging 13mpg, thats with 10% ethanol, a roof rack and a winch bumper.

Use the cruise, drive slow, keep the windows up, tires at least 35psi, good air filter, good tune up, proper grade of fuel.

Buy a calculator and don't be that douche bag when asked what kind of mileage you get you respond I get about 300 miles per tank.

I can get around 430-450mi per tank, thats highway driving, 62mph, cruise control.

when driving around town i can usually get around 350mi

I get 280 miles MAX (as in run out of gas, stuck on the road) I tested it out once to see how far I can go. Bradical, wtheck what's your secret?

about 400 miles freeway and 270 mixed driving (conservative).....which is the max from a full tank.

I get 12.5 mpg no matter what. I would rather have 15. Considering I am completely stock and no roof rack...

thats over 22mpg! holy crap! hah


my last few tanks have been 17mpg, so about 350 miles till the lights on plus a little more...
thats about 80% highway at 65-70ish.

truck has a full tune up on it and tire pressure is over 40psi on all four.

no secret, I filled up here and drove to Williston SC, the tank lasted 449 miles, full to low fuel, that was non stop, no traffic, 40psi all tires, but i never let the tach get above 2100rpm. so I just drove the slow lane at around 60mph. and for around town i just take my time and stay off the throttle and make it a game and see how long I can make my gas last.

now if I run 70+mph or go off road the milage just goes to hell....
