Morning commute fuel mileage

50 to 55 mph on a 20 mile stretch of Highway were many deer come to sacrifice themselves to the grille gods.

 

How many miles on your truck? I can't anywhere near that with only 2K miles...lol

 

I have about a 15 mile commute into downtown Portland and I average around 22-24 mpg for the trip. On the return trip, I average about 21-22 since I'm using the AC and ESC to get up and over Sylvan Hill.

 

Truck has 510 miles, that was at the steady 50 to 55 mph, over 60 it drops to the 20 to 22 mph range

 

I have a ~35mi commute, one stop light, mostly NH state roads and I easily average 22's to 24's in summer. In winter, a bit lower and I do not drive easy....

 

In pretty stop and go traffic on my 32 mile commute that takes about 70 minutes, my truck said 21.4 this morning.... about 5 minutes ago.

 

Morning commute is all down hill. Back home is not as kind

 

Less we not forget we don’t drive a Prius

 

Im getting 21.3 on a 1 hour 35 mile commute one way.

 

I was just curious what was going on here..

I'm getting like 14

 

if u are getting over 20mpg on a v6 4x4 truck consider it doing very well on gas mileage, more than that its icing on the cake

 

If I really got the new ECU update then I can't feel much of a difference... Which I think means that everyone who felt something from this new tune drives with WOT WAY too frequently. I don't think I've ever gone wot....

 

I bet you could if you drove 50 - 55 mph on flat roads at steady state. These trucks are very efficient if driven that way. As soon as you throw in some stop and go, acceleration, braking or going over 70 mph, the mileage drops fast.

 

Keep in mind I'm a second gen with 33s and several hundred pounds of armor and equipment.

 

I don't have 33s yet but that will do it. My 35 miles is 75% stop and go and not exactly flat.

 

Well, I have an AARP CARD, I’m allowed to drive 10 to 15 mph below the speed limi with out being flipped off. Better mileage lol
