Real World MPG

vv check the Fuelly banner in my sig...

 

SCANGAUGE II SAYS....
76 mph = 18.8 mpg (all USG)
70 mph = 21 mpg
62 mph = 23.5 mpg
56 mph = 25.6 mpg
40 mph = 33.6 mpg

Numbers from level ground, 20 mph crosswind. All numbers using corrected speedometer, and calibrated fuel usage. I think I figured out why some people get killer mileage!

 

Seems to map ot a good demonstration of the wind resistance, nice.

 

What % is you mileage off when you calibrated your ScanGuage? I will have to check mine later.

 

i just got about 17.7 mpg on 87 ... i tried 93 since its only 3 cents more than 91 today...and prob a 2nd tank. i will see if any difference exists

 

I`ve had my 2010 for 1 month and each fill is getting better. Started at 20.7, last tank was 22.2. Mostly highway.

 

mine is set a 11.6% if I remember well.

 

I believe mine is set at +4.6%. Meaning it under calculates by that amount. Part of that is the vehicles speed sensor has one calibration, and it's way off if you have stock 245's.

It's worth noting I can get 30 mpg's average when driving around town, even flooring it away from lights, and shifting over 4000 rpm, as long as I'm lugging it slightly in the highest gear possible once I'm up to speed. I find coasting in gear is key. On the highway, it's all about how fast I'm travelling, nothing that can be done.....Seems as though the Prerunner V6's get as good mileage as the 4X4 4cyl....
