Post your '16 MPG

Range when full will vary based on the current avg. MPG. Has no one owned a vehicle with fuel consumption computers/displays before?

 

Yeah it was meant to be tongue in cheek.

 

Anyone have any mpg's to post with aftermarket tires and a lift?

 

I can't vote because there isn't an 11-12mpg option.

 

you guys gotta let these engines break in a little...

 

It won't make a noticeable difference

 

yeah I didn't see any difference in my 2012 (DCSB TRD Off Road 4x4) from mile 4 to about 43k.

 

I would say at least after the first oil change.

This is just something i've experienced in my personal experience with cars/trucks and motorcycles. maybe newer vehicles don't need to be broken in like they did 20 years ago.

Same reason I wouldn't mash on a new engine like i would one that's been broken in a little bit (gone through a few oil change cycles).

 

This is about as much proof as anybody needs right here.

 

the v6 ges better mileage than the 4cyl?

 

I like all these posts of 2016 MPG's.

 

I think you were supposed to post in the "what's your mpg when trying to use as much gas as possible" thread.

 

Just picked it up and drove 339 miles home. Looking forward to driving some more familiar roads over the weekend.

 

One trip, 339 miles with two passes (Kenosha and Wolf Creek)

 

Higher elevation = better mpgs

 

DCSB Sport all stock so far 80% intown

 

I'll let you know as soon as I fill the tank

 

Had the Truck for a week now and the MPG has risen up to 21 MPG. That is about 60% highway 65MPH+ and 40% city driving.

 

I drove my OR 4x4 back from the dealership on Thursday evening. 75 miles of grandma-like driving.

26.2 mpg average for the trip. Probably won't ever see that again as it's already down to 24 mpg for the tank average after 1 local "beer run."

 

That's pretty much it. I never exceeded 60-62 mph on a divided 4-lane highway with limits posted at 65-70 mph, drove mostly at 50-55 mph. Occasionally at 35-45 in speed zones. Gradual acceleration and braking. One start/stop at a rest area. Flat lands by most measures. The driving pattern mimicked test track conditions, I suspect.

I snapped that particular image (26.2 mpg) as I was exiting the highway onto a municipal or county roadway. The tank avg dropped to 25.9 during the last 5 miles (those included several stoplights and stop signs).

All bets are off tomorrow as I head to "the swamp." All-the-same, I never expected the new 6 cylinder in a 4x4 to achieve that efficiency. My old 2.7L never came close, not even with a tail wind...
