25.6 mpg- could it be?

Wut?

 

^^^^^^^ THIS!!

 

When I set my cruise control to 39-40 MPH, this happens:

I have a commute to work on a 35 MPH road.

 

I never went more than 50 miles from home on this tank, and longest leg was 43 miles. Warm weather seems to help, and I pampered it, using some hypermiling techniques but nothing crazy like shutting the motor off.

 

Don't get too excited. It doesn't last.

 

Anything over 16mpg is blasphemous

 

I'm getting 17-18.5 tank average.

 

I drove 330 mikes and was just under a half of a tank....a little more than the size of the gauge. I did all I could to cramb 13 gallons back in the tank. 25.38 mpg. I was very happy. That was my highest mpg with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I've picked up 24 several times.

 

That is really good, what was your average speed when you got that mpg?

 

I drove 70 on the freeway most of the way....I had a mix of some highway driving 60-65

 

I have the same truck as you (even the color), so I hope one day I get that kind of mpg lol
