Gas mileage help?

I am reading around and I see alot of people getting 350ish miles to the tank. In the summer I reach close to 300 on a full tank. Lately my light has been coming on around 225 miles. I have a 2008 DC 4x2 by the way. Someone please help!

 

Short commutes in the cold?

 

Lots of other factors this time of year as well, like weather, 'winter blend' gas, and tire pressure. I notice a bit of a seasonal change with mine too. I'd try to get some more accurate MPG numbers (...rather than just relying on the low fuel light) before I got too concerned.

 

Yeah my job is about 10 miles away. I have never gotten over 300 miles a tank. My truck is completely stock performance wise and stock tires.

 

One of the biggest contributor to shitty MPG if tire pressure is too low.

 

oil changes, dirty throttle body, bad wheel bearings are some things that can be wrong.

 

My record with a lifted 4x4 4Banger

 

That picture is the reason why I want a 4 banger . To get that much on a tank. I hate getting 230 to only 210. First gen 4 banger coming to me ftw!!!
