MPG POLL (Never ending)

-Royden

For me there's not really a secret to it. My truck is pretty much bone stock.

Here's my specs- V6, PreRunner, AccessCab
Stock everything- tires(Dunlop Grandrek. Same tires since getting the truck new)
not lifted. zero mods on performance wise. ie. air intake, chips etc.

I mainly use just 87 regular b/c it's cheaper. Never tried the other octains.
My fill ups comes when my fill up light comes on. I do this pretty much the same, never changing anything.

I drive like a grandpa- Highways, I literally stay with in the speed limit, plus 1mph or 2 above it. Cruise control helps too. I use it all the time.
Roads- Same, stay with in the speed limits.

Now there are variables- Price drop/hike in fuel cost. The fastest speed limit we got here in HI is 65 in a Highway I rarely use. 55 speed limit is what I usually deal with everyday.

I guess it's all about having self control on stomping that gas pedal.

See there's no secret to it hehe

 

Thanks Adio

Actually that is some good info.

Here's what stood out to me:
-Slower highway speeds on average
-lighter weight tires (I assume the 265/70/16's) but still lighter than BFG's or Hankooks - with less rolling resistance.
-light on the skinny pedal
-and no lift

Does Hawaii run Ethanol in their low grade fuel? Only one place around here does (60 miles south) but the premium is generally E free.

Thanks for the good info
