BEAT MY MPG [5 LUG ONLY]

Wanna start a thread for 5 luggers to post their good/shit MPGsI'm only running my truck until the light pops up. Try to beat my MPG. Obviously stock tire MPG is going to be in a completely different league, unless you got a lead foot and gun it every light




Light turned on at 284.3 miles.


Fuel up took 18.019 gallons.

So here comes the math part.

284.3 miles is what the ODO states, but that's based on stock tires. I sized up. I have to accommodate for upsize. Have to multiply by Revolution per mile(First Pic).

284.3 x 1.161 = 330.0723 TRUE MILES TRAVELLED

330.0723 / 18.019G = 18.32~ MPG

*Still running stock gears. Only difference is upsized tires.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS GOT??

4/28/17 - Score to beat 18.78~​

 

You did 18 per gallon

 

Fueled up again. After a week of moderate driving and a day of hauling ass through mud/off-roading/incline climbing. My truck got 17.43 MPG. Not bad for what I put it through on the weekends.

293.26 16.828

 

Did better than my first post!

281.1 17.373

18.78~

Pretty good with a weekend of camping,offroading, and river crossings.

 

I don't know if I would trust the tire calculator that TW has. I come up with 2 different numbers for Revolutions per Mile. I am running 31x10.5 BFG, TW calculator shows 651.05 revolutions per mile whereas BFG shows 682 revolutions per mile. I would go with the number from the tire manufacturer to calculate MPGs.

When I drove my 5 lug off the dealership it came with Dunlop Grandtrek AT20:


TW calculator specs:


Below shows the specs on the BFGs I am currently running:

So when I calculate my MPG I use the specs from Dunlap and BFGs specs, the difference for my setup is -11.89%. Not the -13.33% shown on the TW calculator. Its not much, but that difference will affect +/- MPG data.

 

@neslerrah Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to read up more on my tire revolutions.

How'd you get that percentage using RPM? The math behind it so I can figure out mine.

 

I did better with my 6 lug 2.7..

 

6 lug 2.7l has proper gearing

 

I read 400 miles, cruising at 90MPH often. 2.7 5 lug
Taco base Access cab auto trany.

 

I usually get around 250 miles when the light turns on but I recently took a drive and drove "conservatively" getting to 320 miles with no light but I then topped off. Tires are 237/75/r15
