Is 300 miles per tank good?

I'll be lucky to get 200 miles per tank.

 

2014 ...... DCSB 4x4 6cyl. Auto
On week 6 with it.
15 to 16 mpg.
Hit the highway last weekend, 17 mpg.
1700 miles total.
Hoping milage gets better with break in.

 

Wtf? Why only 200mpt. ?

 

The race car burns 2.2-2.7 gallons per burnout and 1/4 pass. Is that bad?. Only $1100 for 55 gallons(VP116Nos).

 

A huge amount of things. I need a MAJOR tune up. I need a new air filter housing. The housing itself has holes in it from the previous owner and the pipe that goes from the housing to the throttle body (i think) has separated from the housing (supposed to be one piece). Pair that with the aftermarket Mass Air Flow Sensor that a stupid mechanic put in cause he got a good price on it and the fact that my tires are dry rotted and very low on tread and the U-Joints in my tranny needs replacement. I actually did a test. I got a GPS app on my phone that would register acceleration, average speed, current speed, and miles driven. I had a 1/4 of a tank. I drove until the needle hit E which was 30 miles later with an average of 18 mph. I NEVER take it on the highway unless its necessary because of this. I got quoted for a complete tune up from Toyota for $3406.68. I told them, I'd might as well trade mine in for a new one.

 

I wish my numbers looked like OP's lol

 

Ive never seen 300 in my 2.7 single cab. Even with 85% highway driving.

 

Reg. Cab is at the least 16 gal.

 

4x4 reg have 18. Think 2wd have 16.

 

Sounds right.

 

2001 DCSB 3.4 and I get 220 per tank (15.7 avg. gal/ fill up). I'm hoping the P0420 code has something to do with my bad gas mileage so when I do get new cats and 02 sensors hopefully my average MPG will increase by a couple

 

i just took a trip to arizona. i put a bottle of lucas UCL and a full tank of 91 octane chevron and i got 320 miles out of a full tank! i have a 2.7L auto. forgot to mention that cruise control at 80 helped also

 

It's better for fuel pump life to not run the tank extremely close to empty. The fuel doubles as a cooling agent in the case of the fuel pump and lower fuel levels cause decreased cooling to take place. The only place I can see it mattering how far a tank will get you is if you are going way out in the wilderness and don't have access to enough jerry cans for the extra fuel needed.

 

I'm running BF Goodrich All Terrains 265-75 R16's I keep the air pressure at about 30psi.

Load Index E I believe.

 

300 seems good. I usually get anywhere from 280 to 310.

 

well i thought i was doing bad but from the looks of things i guess im doing alright. ive been filling up at about 260-270 and putting in a little over 16 gallons. this should improve once i lift her up and throw some bigger tires on.... NOT

 

200 and im in need...the most I remember going was about 230 and my light was on

 

If I'm easy on the skinny pedal I can get about 16mpg I don't so its less on most fill up's. That's a supercharged 3.4 on 37x12.50's with 5.29 gears.

 

Hi,

Just filled up bluTaco, dcsb Prerunner, TRD cai, 265/65-17 Goodyear Silent Armor @35 psi, all cold weather, 160lbs ballast in box, all short trips, mostly six miles, a few at 15-20 miles, no warm ups, no idling, 10% corn squeezings, 285.8 on the trip odo, 16.01 gallons= 17.85. I think that is very acceptable.

 

i got about 300 only of im going on a long trip and put 91 chevron with lucas ucl. i did a trip to AZ last week from So Cal and got gas when I was near empty at 302 miles. then again i have a 2.7 2wd
