15.5 MPG around town and some freeways
#11
As far as I know, using ECU and GPS data I am looking at very accurate readings. The computer knows exactly what the pressure is in the fuel rail and exactly how long it commands the injectors to open. The GPS is probably accurate to within a few feet. If you've got over 100k on your O2 sensors the first thing that's going to happen is a significant drop in mpg so that would be my priority. Eventually they are going to start throwing codes and activating your CEL..

15.28 MPG with my last fill up.
Mixed highway and city - I would say 50:50.
Gas cost has lowered to $3.75 for premium.
Matters not.
I am still not tromping the throttle. Still going 55 on the highway.
All of the 65+ MPH maniacs behind me - there is a left lane to pass.
Learn how to use it.

Considering the MPG difference between the 4.0L V8 and the little diesel engine they put in them over in Europe, I can't for the life of me imagine who at Land Rover thought it was a good move to put the V8 in ANY of the rovers. I would really like to see my Disco getting 25+ MPG that the diesel Discos in Europe are getting. I know the diesel fuel costs more argument, but not that much!

We are brainwashed. Nice would be $2.30/gal, or better yet around $1.40 like it was when my '99 was new. Drill, baby, drill.
BTW, my truck averaged 15.3 mpg on a road trip last weekend, according to the UltraGauge.

The USA will be the worlds largest OIL producer soon.
This will last for about 5 years.
Do you once think that the USA oil companies will pass the savings onto the USA consumers?
Yes, if you answered "no way" you are correct.
The oil will get EXPORTED to the world market for the highest $.
Probably China.
Bejing needs more cars to pollute the air.

No-one will benefit from cheaper oil/gas except the corporates and governments be they in the US or Europe. The fracking boom will line the pockets of those that already have plenty of cash and none of us will benefit one penny. Has anyone ever seen any substantial reduction in fuel prices apart from the political game before an election - I thought not.

I drive around 600 too 1000 miles per week. I always run mid-grade fuel. Through my testing, I get a better average per tank on mid-grade, and a little better in the winter. Although the winter blend fuel may contribute to the better mileage, keep in mind that with the cooler air comes a denser charge into the intake.
I average 17.2 per tank. I follow it with the Ultra Gage, but also with an app on my phone.
