Distance to Empty is eating my Cheerios...

For some reason(it's been a minute now), I've noticed mostly everyone (if not everyone) gets over 300+ miles full tank of fuel...

I'd be lucky if I see over 265 per full tank, any input?

 

The 13 mpg isnt helping lol. Can u reset your average mpg and see what is says?

 

Yeah I'd reset the settings and start from scratch.

 

don't mind the 13, I had just added that to the "driver info" but, I reset it and filled up, turned off and restarted the truck and nothing..

 

From day 1 you've been getting that kind of mileage?

I've got the 2.7 TR and even with my bigger tires I'm getting 21 MPG

 

Unless your truck is heavily modded, there's something else robbing your fuel economy. First things to check would be CPS, MAF, and any type of leaks.

I used to get over 320+ miles to the tank(IAW the indicator), then out of nowhere just dropped to those numbers.
Since most of the driving is in town, I average 20-22mpg. its a small town and speed limit is 45, my commute is 16 miles round trip.

 

The only heavy mod I've done to it was add mudflaps... miles to the gallon is not my issue(which doesn't make any sense) but, miles that show on the cluster when the tank is filled to the neck..

 

What settings to reset?

 

average mpg, scroll down on your driver info display(cluster).

 

Something is wrong, I live in a pretty hilly area in the bay area and always get a 415 mile range on fill up and average about 18 mpg both city and hwy driving

 

i came to discuss cheerios.

why arent we discussing cheerios?

 

because my turd is eating them...

 

update, I just performed a forced hard reset(disconnected battery). let the truck sit for a couple of minutes while I checked for any loose connections or claps etc and re-connected the battery and now tank reads 415 miles to empty(tank is full). I'll keep an eye and see if this truck decides to pms again on its own.

Really shout out to you creeps for helping with your $.02! now I know where to come when in need of advice!

 

After battery disconnect.

 

Awesome that's more like it!

 

Finally someone getting to the real issue.
So are we talking original or the honey nut variety?

 

I find that gauge to be off on mpgs. When I do the calculations myself the mpgs are about .5-1 mile better.

 

. I just got 400 on my first tankful on my new TRD Sport and had gas left- averaged 21.5. I'm tickled pink. 13 is really low, do you have big tires? Any mods?
