Crazy MPG...real?

It's actually the Cougar Reservoir -- about 55 miles east of Eugene. Good eye though!

 

Just refilled the tank. Think I had about 2.5 gallons left. Trip ODO said about 358 miles (about 80 of those are commuter miles) so 358mi/18.5gal=19.35mpg.....back to reality.....

 

the trucks are tempermental drove 100 miles uphill ( 5,000 to 7,500 ft above sea-level ) at 80mph on
curise control. Into a head wind no less and got 22.7 mpg. On the way back drove 75 mph with a
tail wind and down hill and got 21.6 So who knows

 

Yes sir. Mid 50s only way to get max efficiency.

 

My absolute best was 28.4mpg on I-40 going driving from CA to AZ at about 62mph. I’m averaging 26.3-26.8mpg on that route usually @62 mph.

 

I never get over 17 when I do 75-80.

 

two different trips that I do before. 100 miles got 28+ mpg normally only 21 to 22 at 77 mph.
a shorter trip normally 21 or so got 30+ mpg at 68 mph. I think it depends on the quality of the
fuel in your area. In AZ no one checks the gas to ethanol ratio. Some one did it on their own and
found it could go over 30% ethanol. there is a station here that sells ethanol free gas which I use
for lawn mowers, generators, etc and when I fill up with that my mileage goes up.

 

Why does Toyota need a turbo 4 when the v6 gets 28mpg?
