I don't have much of a lift or big tires so I average 17.4 on 91

91 or 89 is a waste of money in our trucks.

 

If I can get 15-16 on any grade gas I'm happy.

Lowest I got once was last summer with ac 24/7 and drive like I stole mentality.. 12-13 mpg hahah

 

Best mpg I've ever gotten was when it was 100% stock and all freeway driving to and from work 18mpg. So the people that claim up to 21 mpg with the same truck and mods and or even bigger tires I always call out for being incorrect.

Unless you're in 5th gear doing 40 mph it's not gonna happen.

 

Most of the MPG differences ive noticed in people is just driving styles more than anything to do with the trucks. Slow starts vs smashing pedal type stuff. I average ~18.5mpg but have seen 21 and 22 in single tanks while doing all freeway (ie freeway...gas station to gas station in mostly flats) Also has to do with hills and crap too. We have some big hills near me where its impossible to be under 2.5k rpm unless you want to be losing speed. But other times i can go whole tanks without going over 2.2k rpm if i really want. Just driving styles. Personally i didnt buy the truck for fuel milage. bought it cause its fun to drive. If i cared about MPGs id have bought something else.


O and i start the journey to San Diego tomorrow. Be there till end of April pretty much! Be interesting to see my gas on the way down!

 

I was getting 23-25 before I went 35's.

 

You have a 2rz, I was refering to the folks running V6 4x4 extra cabs like mine

My old lowered 2rz would get 25-28 all day

 

First gens get lower mpg compared to the 2005+ models

Also first gens have a smaller fuel gank so it's not the same.

 

Mother inlaws truck got 15-18 with the wife driving, 18-20 with me driving when we used for awhile. 04 crewcab 2wd auto. STOCK

 

My truck off the factory floor in 2001 estimated EPA mpg was 16-21 with an 18.5 gallon fuel tank.

All reviews I've seen tested average mpg in the 16-18 range

 

True, my numbers are pure freeway.

 

best recorded MPG I got on the highway was 22mpg. That was in the mountains going over a 10,000 ft. pass and cruising the rest of the way down hill to sea level. 3" lift with 33s.

 

life is rough.

 

O how I miss the palms..... Nothing but pine out here.

 

Hell of a job by the SDPD. I went to High School with this guy. Guess things have gone bad for him.

The stuff people will do when they are just about to lose everything. It seems like a story like this pops up every few months.

 

I have a set of rugged ridge floor liners that say they fit a ram brand new in box I'm selling cheap.

 

On 87 octane Pemex gas (that's in Mexico, fyi) which has NO ETHANOL diluted into it, I get 19 mpg, fully loaded and driving fast!

 

Link to thread for Mojave nigh run to gather and show our support to Sebastian during this tough time for him. Wanna help boost the morale.
