    You can click my fuelly if you want. Other than a few outliers, 20-25 mpg in my 4x4 AC is pretty much standard. Only 2500 on the odo and probably 75% in town driving.

    Since I got my new AT's my mileage has been a consistent 22-25...definitely less than I was previously getting. But then again, I have not been driving for fuel efficiency whatsoever.

    Most recent fillup was 16.72 gallons into 440.7 miles for 26.4 MPG.

    The second photo is my UltraGauge. The top right number of 25.6 is Ave MPG since Feb of 2011 when I got the gauge. The number on the bottom right of 26.0 is the Trip MPG function of the gauge. This is my MPG since Thanksgiving of 2011.

    I just love my truck's MPG. It lets me drive a efficient vehicle while still having a truck capable of doing 90-95% of what any truck can do.

    Sorry for the lousy pics. Had not had coffee yet

    Warm weather is here and up goes the mpg. :bananadance:

    Gassed up a little before the light came on this time, I was near the Longmont Safeway station where I get a discount. I got a $0.70 discount so gas was $3.099.

    Drum Roll

    546.8 miles on 17.371 gallons for 31.5 mpg.

    Great tank dood. My current tank will come in at about 27 MPG if the UltraGauge is correct. Filling up tomorrow

    My Ultragauge was dead-on with the GPS for the odometer, but the MPG on it's first tank was 9% optimistic.

    If it's the same as the scangauge your next tank and instant mpg will be pretty close from here on, unless you get some good E0 then it will be pessimistic.

    I already blew that chance.

    I was laid off in June of '09.
    Had I known in June that I'd still be looking for work in December, I'd have cashed out the 401k and moved to Austin.

    Found work in February '10, so I was out for 7 months.
    Due to two retirements, I'm now the senior tech and looking at a possible promotion in a couple of months.

    Filled up this morning 382.7 miles, put in 13.812 gallons. = 27.7 MPG The Ultragauge read 27.3 for the tank. A good tank, hope this holds up as the A/C use ramps up. NOT!!! It usually costs me 1 to 1.5 MPG.

    Congrats to everyone with their recent great tanks.

    Though you gentlemen might appreciate this. I wasn't dissapointed! :D

    467km, 40.87 litres of gas = 8.75 l/100kms = 26.88 US mpg.

    2010 2.7 4X4...oem air filter, no bed cover, stock tires.

    Used the same pump/gas station and filled to the first 'click.'

    61k (kms) on the odometer.

    In the summer I normally average between 8.9 and 9.6l/100kms, so this was a new personal best!

    363 Miles on the last tank until the light came on. Not shabby for having the 30's on. Spent some time in heavy traffic near the end. Didn't re-fill all the way back up.

    Noticed that myself. had a 1991 extra cab and it would struggle to get 25mpg. Got 30 only once or twice on a 1100 mile trip to Corpus Christi TX.

    Indeed. My 2.7 is larger and more powerful than my '94's 22RE, and I have a 4spd auto vs the '94's 5spd manual...

    Yet I'm getting 4-8mpg better.
