I thought these trucks got good gas mileage?

wanted to see how far i could go on a tank. i had a gas can in the back.

 

Bad idea.

 

I have gotten 13 before on regular unleaded 10% ethanol, driving like a teenager around town.

OP: Fill it to the top, run a tank through and fill up at the same pump. Note how many miles and how many gallons to fill back up. Then do the math. Anything else is speculation.

 

x2

 

This is a good way to kill a fuel pump as others have noted on this board.

 

idk if the previous guy changed them..thats my next thing to do since i knew they were 30k intervals. And i filled it up with exactly 10 gallons and that's what i showed with conservative driving mixed roads.

 

BULLSHIT!!!!! thats when the pump shut itself off. i actually got 22.5 gallons in it.

 

I usually get around 160 to 180 miles on 1/2 a tank....don't usually run it too far past that point.

 

I ran out of fuel in my old Tacoma like 3 times..sucked vapor dry and everything.
It didn't burn the pump up or pull air into lines.



Now running a diesel out of fuel is REALLY bad...do you know how hard it is to get one of those bitches running again?

 

It's 21.1 gallon tank to be precise...but you completely missed the point.

 

Buy gas

 

when i first got my truck, (in feb 11') we had that big blizzard, my second tank, i got 10.

 

Well then you must have some pretty goodpumps where youre at b/c i have NEVER owned a car that i have been able to fill up to tank capacity. But then again i never run them completely out of gas..

 

alright you sum bitch... i will prove to you that i can get 22.5 in my tank. trust me, i know what i saw.<----promise!

 

WTF

 

true!

 

Get back to us when you've done this.

 

somebody help me out here, so OP has never filled up his tank twice, and thus can't give us an actual gas mileage?
