MPG’s - Fact Or Fiction??

LOL brutal
I'm not offended by MPG posts, what makes you think anybody else would be?

 

Noted.

 

Edited.

 

Driving back and forth from Denver to eleven mile for ice fishing. Down through the springs and back via Fairplay average over about 6 trips. Usually about 18.5 by the time I get to the Mile and about 25 or so on the return since it is mostly downhill at slower speed limits

 

^Why?

 

With a camper shell, 200lb bed drawers, a fridge, all my camping gear, on 32’s….

And my dash has always been within .5 of manual calculation, so.

 

I'm just here to marvel at everyone's dirty instrument clusters that they are afraid of cleaning due to scratches.

Screen ProTech for you that don't have them! So far my happiest purchase.

 

I see that often.
I’m in a rural area, 2 lane roads, 55-60 speed limits.

City and freeway driving is more like 19-20

 

Because pointing out the trend in your posts does no one any good.
Also, because Jesus would love first.

 

I'm convinced that most V6 people get in the high teens for mpg but there are a small percentage of these 21-24mpg unicorn V6s out there that make me regret getting a 4 just for the same mpg they're getting.

That said I wonder if it is a build from a certain plant (Texas vs. Mexico) or something that those engines/drivetrains get mid 20s

Any clue? Where were all of your mid 20 mpg V6s made? what configuration? there must be some magic to that combination.

 

Best I've got on the computer so far.



It ended up calculating out to about 25.3 using math IIRC.

The 6MT is really happy at about 45-50 in 6th gear. The drive to Key West from Miami is basically all that.

 

My Tacoma is of Hispanic ethnicity.

DCSB, 42 pound tires.

No add ons or additional weight.

Even if I can go from 18–19 to 21-22, the juice is worth the squeeze!

 

Marlin Crawler dude on 37s gets 20MPGs.
I'm not saying I'll get better, but I should be able to get about 20 as well.

 

I drive mostly city and short highway in a four-cylinder and I get 17 to 20.

 

Most of my driving is commuting no fun stuff. My drive in to work is about 18 miles mostly freeway and I average about 18-21. Cruise control baby!

 

The screen you get when you shut down is the accirate one, the one you show is an average

 

My 2.7 has no problem getting 25 mpg.

 

Touche'

 

You appear to get better mileage with a cleaner cluster cover...

But yeah, I can get into the 20's.... in summer
