Fuel economy ??? Poll

I would be happy with that mpg !! Am I correct to guess this a auto trans?

 

Yes sir.

 

If you really gave it a good try I bet you could beat your current mpg but you would normally not drive like that. Have fun !!

 

It is a sure bet that whenever you deviate from the way a vehicle was designed to operate, using aftermarket parts, your fuel mileage will decrease. The OEM has to meet government DOT, EPA, Federal Emissions laws and CAFE regulations to sell vehicles. The aftermarket does not unless they want to sell in California which has CARB. I have seen a simple replacement tire change, no change in size, destroy up to 4 mpg! Factory parts are designed to fit and work correctly, aftermarket not so much. 51 yrs in this business have proven and taught that to me. Alter your vehicle and you take your chances with fuel mileage, I’m willing to say that 95 % of the time it will only get worse and never better with a gasoline engine. To make matters worse you run the risk of voiding your warranty, whose cost is computed into the price of the vehicle. You now become your own warranty station. Lots to loose and truly nothing to gain except, well it looks cool. There is no free ride!

 

Im gettin 20+ driving like a grandpa

 

***
Have you tried like grandma? Results?

 

Did pretty good today on I-75. Just drove the speed limit. Then again my OR is 2wd.

 

Not bad at all. All SCORE trucks are 2WD. I’d be happy with that mpg !!

 

That would get me 50Mph+

 

it get aroun 18.5 but hardly ever see the highway....

 

4 banger double cab with a boss lift and 33s on 17 trd rims. Getting 17mpg avg right now.

 

2017 SR5 DCSB 4x4 v6 AT, 3" LK, 265/70R16 (30.6"): Hand calculated 19.98mpg running 87oct

 

Located in Las Vegas 2016 TRD Sport 2wd v6 at this is my average every trip chevron 89 octane, I want to put on a lift and 33s so bad but I don’t want to lose mileage

 

My TRD Off Road is also a two wheel drive, but my average of 15 MPG city driving is lackluster.

 

Win.... Totally flat central Florida with unusually little traffic, hit only one light over 9 miles, and a 45 speed limit. Carrying nothing but my 180 lb rear end in the seat. Keep these things around 45-50 and they’ll sure rival a corolla.

 

265/75r16 one Falken Wildpeak P rated. They're only 43lbs but I went down from about 19-21mpgs to 16-19mpgs. Not quite under 18, but not quite 18-19.

 

Leveling kit with the stock wrangler kevlars on my 2019 TRD OR and I average 15.5.....my work commute is all back roads and only about 9 miles and I have a heavy foot but I do not see how people are getting 20+ MPG. But I also really do not care because my truck is fuggn sweet.

 

There is that...but the same people bitching about MPG on this forum are also the ones doing 90. These things are as aerodynamic as a cinder block, drag adds up exponentially over about 60-65.

 

Student shows up to class today with beautiful black rims and super wide tires, truck looks bad ass. So I ask, “how’s the fuel mileage?” Kid says, sucks, lost 4 mpg. Cost money to look pretty and go to the ball.
