Worst Gas Mileage on TW

I'm getting about 18 with a 2.7L manual. Can I get a trophy also...

 

I've gotten 10 mpg cruising at 100 with a couple pounds of boost.

 

I got 8mpg towing a loaded u-haul trailer for 300 miles down I95. Stock gears, 35's, and cruising around 80mph - recipe for awful mpgs.

 

i was getting 11mpg too... so random..

I had a rtt and gears and 34's

then I took the rtt off... and got 19ish on the highway.. around 17 city

i think this stupid motor needs you to back of the pedal and reapply presure to "maintain" speed or it never lets the otto cycle shut down and robs mpg. I hate the way this truck is designed but Im too modded to do anything but cry about it

 

My theory is rooftop tents were invented by the oil companies. My normal tent had no discernible effect on fuel economy when I throw it in the back to go camping.

 

My tent doesn't change my gas mileage.

Granted it's under my soft topper but still.

 

Puny!? I'm on 265 75s these days... and never happier lol

 

Good to hear!

 

If you didn't see the title you could mistake this for the best mpg thread

 

Haha.

I'm so tempted to downsize. Or at least go to a lighter all terrain.

 

Here ya go. Los Angeles stop and go

 

My first gen extracab ... 8mpg

 

4970 miles - 20.3 mpg average. Worst 17.1, best 22.4, all calculated as I have the cheap package. Worst mileage was pulling small trailer with light load and running 70. (Had to run 70 plus to get into power band, or drop to 4th gear) After this past weekend, it finally seems to be loosening up a bit.

 

I lose hehe

2000 miles on the ODO. City average 18.1mpg. Last 300+ mile highway trip 24.333mpg with 2 adults and AC on the whole way. This is a 2017 5spd AC SR.

 

What I keep observing, for example is that when I reset my ECU my MPGs were pretty terrible (~15mpg) but it drove nearly perfect. As it slowly increased efficiency, MPGs started inching back up toward 19-20 avg but in the process seems to be starving the engine causing vibes and roughness... probably just a sensor problem on my truck that's going to be a bitch to diagnose but that's my experience.
