Gas Mileage vs Weather Changes

There's no point in trying to virtue signal after the fact. I bought the truck and don't feel the need to green wash the MPG it gets. Maybe i'm just being a fatalist, but nothing we do is truly sustainable in the long term, not even EVs. I'm here now and i'm going to live my life how I see fit, not how someone else thinks I should live it.

 

10% on average.

 

28 average trip!?! What kind of majic voodoo do you do to get that kinda of milage?!?

 

Downhill at 55 MPH probably

 

You have to push through heavier air as well.

 

I only ever see a 1-2 mpg drop here in Cali

 

Gas blend doesnt matter. Its 12mpg no matter what over 75mph. Cold weather the truck feels best! Avg is about 13.5 in my setup. 0FUX

 

I'm with you on that, unfortunately there aren't many of us.

 

4 cyl and keep that blue bar to the right, etc

 

You obviously care enough to post about it.

 

I had to Google this term because I've never heard it before. If that's what you think I'm doing you're way off base.

 

No.

Don't confuse my comment on your shitty car as caring.

 

Wow, my post really hit a nerve with you. What is it, you always wanted a Corvette but could't afford one or your wife or girlfriend just won't let you buy one?

By the way, perhaps you should have had your mouth washed out with soap a few times growing up and maybe you would be able to write at least one sentence without foul language.

 

No one cares about your Corvette in a thread about mileage in the winter in Tacoma's.

Sorry.

As far as owning one, lol. Unless it's a C2 convertible, no.

 

Wow, 2 complete sentences without profanity, I feel like I really accomplished here.

 

You should feel acomplished.

 

This thread has me curious about the winter months and the correlation between a colder, therefore denser, intake charge allowing for burning more fuel affecting MPG.

I have an AFR gauge in another vehicle that I don’t drive during winter much. Maybe I’ll do some experiments and try not to die doing it.

 

I drove a bunch today. The cold didn't seem to hurt fuel economy much, but the wind did. On the way there, which was nonstop, I had a tailwind. The cluster showed 27.0 MPG. I drove slower on the way there, 61-65 mph. On the way back I drove 65-75, and had a headwind. I also stopped a couple times, and you can see where the tank ended up.

How much fuel it took.

Check: 43793-43385=408 miles. 408/16.653=24.5. FWIW I used the exact same gas pump for both fillups, and let it click off. So the computer is .1 mpg optimistic. Pretty close.

 

Im shocked that you're shocked that people keep such close tabs on their fuel mileage.

 

I give a poop.
