Terrible 4 cylinder mpg

I resemble that remark, no need for insults!

 

A gallon is different in Canada?

I mean we don't use the metric system, but at least we don't mess with it either...

 

Update: made a 50 mile round trip on local county highway. Speed about 45-55 mph. Mpg's were 24.2. Conclusion: the 4 banger doesn't like speeds over 55 mph for mpg maximizing.
I do run the tires at 35 psi. That's the specified number on the door panel.

 

That is true. I try and stay at 60 myself. 65 makes a noticeable (huge) drop in MPG.

 

OP, you and I appear to have pretty similar trucks, with the exception that mine's an AC. I recently posted my 2 year report card. I tracked over 35,000 miles with an overall average of 19.1. Best mileage was 24 and had 46 tanks with mileage over 20. All on regular unleaded. You mileage doesn't appear to be too abnormal.

 

Technically, a gallon is "different" in the US.
Remember that the gallon is a BRITISH unit of measure, and that while the US decided to break ties with England, Canada technically remains a subject of the British monarchy.

 

Yes but….

We won the war, so I feel like we won all rights to the units of measure as well and now of course all must conform to the US! Just how I feel!
But I actually did not know that, so either way, I can say I learned something new!

 

LOL. The US didn't defeat Britain. Just made them give up on owning the US. Deemed "not worth it". If you guys had counter-invaded them, then things *definitely* would have turned out different, like your center of government would be Ottawa.

 

This is borderline blasphemy!

 

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!




lol, j.k.

 

Feel for your mileage problems. Went from an 2001 access cab five speed 2.7 to an 2008 same truck. Was so disappointed in overall performance that I traded it in less than two years for a 4.0. More weight and higher gear ratios for supposed mileage meant poor performance out here in the mountains.
Get 20 mpg when I keep it under 65 out of my six cylinder all stock.
Window stickers are for show not real world.

 

A 6 cyl *WILL NOT* burn less than 50% more fuel than a 4-cyl.

 

HUH !! you misunderstood what I was saying.

 

Counter invaded ? That would not have been a good thing to do. Britain had such a strong Navy, the colonies would had lost their canoes, row boats, a raft and six swimmers as soon as they were 10 miles off shore. Actually, we had no navy but did manage to steal a bunch of the British Navy boats. And, we became good pirates.

 

The LCE header will give you an increase in torque and horsepower. It won't be a drastic improvement, just a minor one. The most significant change that it will make is in lowering your torque curve. In short, you will get virtually no extra get up and go. You will, however, be able to break 500lbs of bed weight just as quickly as you used to break stock weight (not exactly but hopefully you get my slightly exaggerated point)

 

Another post policeman that doesn't like levity or history interjections. It was boooooooring. Lighten up.

 

My mileage is about the same in my 2014 V6 as it was in my 2010 4cyl on interstate hiway trips (80mph).

 

I can imagine. The four cylinder had to have been working out of it's gord

 

I bought the 4 to save some money up front. And because I thought I'd get better mileage. I very quickly realized it wasn't gonna cut it for all the traveling I do. Not only was the mileage poor at interstate speeds, but it was underpowered as well. Doing 75mph against a 30mph North Dakota head wind... Double whammy.
