MPG in Manual Transmission

My 18 DCSB OR 6MT 4WD with 1800 miles on it now. Hand calculate around +/- 19.5 every single tank just driving normal 60 miles a day m-f. I can't drive over 65 MPH here cause of all the traffic anymore.

If I tow the boat it dropped way down and if I drive it hard it drops.

 

Eh, I was thinking you might have a 2WD non TRD OR. Those have a lot of things working in their favor for MPG comparatively speaking. I believe it though. 5th in the auto is taller than 6th in the MT so...

 

If I get a chance to drive a manual, I will have to test out the MPG. I do drive "gingerly" though. I'm not a hypermiler, but pretty gentle. By the way, I did compare the OBC MPG and hand-calculated and they were in sync.

 

My last tank I did 21.1 average. 400+ miles of 60/40 highway/city driving. If I watch my foot I can consistently average 20+ MPG.

Edit: eastern NC has no hills. And I mean none.

 

Yeah fair enough. Most people who chime in to MPG threads are. I need to stay out of them. It triggers me when people inflate MPG numbers lol and that's pretty much all these threads generally are

 

Here’s the eco page.

 

Was able to get this just now driving 70mph with a little city driving.

 

I stopped counting, and automatics just get better mpgs now. My fuel inefficiency is all my doing, I know it, and I don’t complain. I figure at least I have fun burning those gallons/shifting gears.

 

People just don't get there's difference between random spurts of mixed driving and solid pulling 20mpg at a certain speed on flat ground. I'll never win this one though so I'm out.

 

Where do you find that in the entune system?

 

Hey, I routinely get over 20 mpg on the highway, 17 or so around town. I usually go 70-75 usually. No big deal.

 

Are you saying 160 of those miles was in the city? And you still pulled 21.1 average?? I can't even do that, in an auto.

 

I just drive 302 miles on interstate, filled up, calculated it and got 20.4 mpg on that tank. Rolling hilly interstate. Most of the time the cruise was set on 73 mph. Had a few tolls, stopped to pee, and averaged 63 mph as far as time goes.
The word trigger is way overused man. So is snowflake.

I have no need to lie. Temp was average around 22 degrees. I used 87 octane. Winter gas.

 

Before I upgraded to the 265’s I got around 400miles on a tank which WAS 22mpg. Now if I don’t whomp on it.

 

I get 19-20

 

Yes

 

Just rolled over 12k miles on mine. On the 36 mile trek between Anchorage and Palmer I average 20.4 at 70 mph. If i keep it at 65mph ill see 21 almost every time. Its not that flat and full of moose.

 

I'm curious what the motivation of throwing this in there was? What did you mean by this?

 

I have gotten a solid 20 MPG average since the day I drove off the dealers lot, it has been a little lower on Winter Fuel though.

 

I get about 17 per gallon (checked dividing miles driven over gallons filled), granted I'm running 33"s, so its a bit off if going by tacometer, so am guessing at least 17ish...

Usually about 275mi till the light comes on... When towing or hauling crap then down to 15ish...
