Fuel mileage

Yes I know that. I traded in a 2019 F150 crew cab Lariat. AWESOME TRUCK but it would not fit in my garage and all my vehicles must go in the garage. I’m anal about my vehicles.

 

your U joints must love you.

 

the wind resistance created from having the windows open negates any savings from not running the AC.

 

Ugggg. Did a 70 miles trip the other day, “rush hour”. About 72 mph on the highway. Fairly substantial grade up and and down. Dropped into fourth on the way up to avoid a Prius passing me and gouging my ego. Lousy 15.9 mpg according to the computer. I have a 2” ish lift and e rated ko2s. I was really hoping to get some better mpg as this might be my new 5 day path…

 

I did this a few days ago behind a grey hound bus. 70 mph for about 45 miles and got 31.7 mpg. In my 2.7. Used to hear about drafting but never thought much about it. You really feel it in a under powered brick. Seems calmer and quieter behind the bus than a truck trailer. Told the wife I’m gonna use the bus schedule to plan our next road trip.

 

I didn’t say you should run with windows open.

 

I average 20mpg on my 2023 lunar rock Tacoma 4x4 long bed

Just wanted to add some clarification on your statement.

 

Normally the truck says I get low 20s on average with the random 21mpg average, but today I was driving to work and it jumped to over 30mpg at a stop light, then started to go back down as I started to drive again. No idea what the heck caused that but it was weird.

Because Im neurotic I keep a spreadsheet of my monthly spending, fuel spending included, and in that spreadsheet I calc MPG. Between 1400 miles logged and 6 stops at the gas pump it says Im getting 20.19 mpg, which is pretty closed to what the truck says I get so I feel confident its close enough for a quick glance.

 

Daily driving, 45 mph max street roads, no crazy accelerating or passing has me getting 14 mpg. 6cyl, 4x4, lifted with 285/75/17s and some weight added with mods and a full truck bed. Trying to get at least get 300 miles per fill up. Best I've gotten so far is 283 miles according to the stock computer but that may be reading wrong. Not a Prius lol

 

Tank avg is about 19 and trip avg is about 23. It spends some time at idle between remote starting and spending my break times in it at work.
I’m running 285/75/16s so I’m cool with it.
My 4.0 definitely had bigger balls but less mpg.

 

I get 17 mpg on average

 

Your runner has the 4.0?

 

Canada to Florida, and back. As i'm an Immature Idiot, I set the Cruise to '69' (Giggity), and managed to hit my driveway with a reading of 22.1MPG
'16 4Dr;LB Auto running on AT/KOs
BTW: 30hr Straight drive - Tandem driver - with a 2year old in the back....don't do it....just don't.

 

Lol I also set cruise at 69 on interstate can’t go wrong doing 69!

 

nice.......lol

Yes it does.

Yup, Cruise Control and both sides of the dual Climate Control are set to 69 in my Taco.
