Real World 4 Banger 4X4 Manual Mileage/Use?

That's the problem, never calculated before making the switch. My truck is rated at 19 off highway and 22 on. Given that I went offroading on the beach with 15 psi and primarily drove around town I was pleased to see this number.

 

Just scored an all time new record - 25.3 MPG's. Shattered my old record by 2.2 MPG's. Interstate driving between 60 - 70 mph's.

 

Well done! I bet you could easily break 26 if you slowed down by another 5 MPH.

 

Last fill up was 25.03mpg hand calculated.
had 20kms of slow 4x4 on it too!

 

Thanks! I typically drive 60 on the interstate - everyone else HATES me! Had to bump it up to be on time for out of state business. I wasn't expecting I would have got that good of mileage though.

 

I cruise at 60 as well...and on rare occasion I pass someone who is actually driving slower than me! Hahaha

 

I just got almost 24 mpg over 300+ miles, all with a 700 pound ATV in the back, and a lot of going up and down hills. I was pretty pleased.

 

Just did 2,000 mile road trip. 80-90 mph hwy w/ ~800 pounds of gear = ~19 mpg w/ stock tires. Wish I had a 6th gear, running 3K+ rpms is not efficient.

 

Running 80-90 is never efficient.

 

oh god no. I get 20 when I go 120+ kmh

 

I get 24-25 running 90+ MPH...which is a 5 MPG loss from my normal numbers.

 

i got 16 on my first tank lol. time start driving sensibly i guess, didn't realise i was so bad

 

Alot is hard to notice unless you have a device to tell you about it

 

i get 22 with synthetic in engine tranny tcase and diffs, i also have 265/75 load E tires and live at 7000' elevation. on a long trip to phoenix i pulled out 25mpg once. which is tough because going across the desert with AC cranking and 70mph speed limit sucks gas

 

Gassed up today. Girlfriend drove almost half the tank but I still mustered 25.2mpg. Not too bad. Mine will be going up too because I find a HUGE difference on the highway with the new AFE pro dry

 

good to know. im still running cheap filters every oil change. removing the secondary filter helped too

just a little info on my day!

 

I have no idea why my mpgs are so bad. getting about 17 (about 14 l/100km)with 50/50 highway and city. And I babied the hell out of this tank and ran about 105km/h on highway. i don't think break in should be this bad.

 

when I first bought my truck I only got 21. Then after the break in, scanguage, 2nd filter, AFE, and driving better im 25-26 easy. Scanguage is all I can say. Sometimes you think your driving efficiently and your not. Also, remember to fill until the click everytime to get the most accurate numbers. Other then that, I dunno. But to be honest, at 105km/h I dont get great mileage either. 22 maybe?

 

also, sweet spot is 50-70 km/h I find. Keep it there
