Real World 4 Banger 4X4 Manual Mileage/Use?

Hahaha

 

i get 23mpg usually. i was using fuelly.com every fill up but it was the same thing every time. my light comes on anywhere between 360-375mi. mine is a 2010 4cyl 4x4 access cab. stock

 

I also think using the 0w20 is actually getting better mileage like Toyota claims. Because every 2011 is getting absolutely sick mileage so far. I mean, I just did an almost 200km trip fishing this morning, was 45 mins driving in the woods/trail going under 30km/h, using 4x4 a little bit, and in the end I still got about 30mpg round trip. I DID however stay off the highway most of the time, and thats where the sweet spot is. About 40-45 mph

 

Fill up confirmed my thoughts. 505.3 miles on 18.171 gallons equal to 27.81 MPG.

 

Are you using US gallons [3.79 liters] or Imperial gallons [4.55 liters]. 30 Imp. mpg is equal to 25 US mpg.

 

US mpg, canadian its a lot more. Current trip so far has me pegged at 26.24mpg too

 

Thats insane. My very best so far has been 690kms (431.25miles) at 62.4L (16.42gal) and got 26.26mpg. I was pumped!

 

Very impressive!

My best is 533.4 miles on 17.3 gal equal to 30.9 MPG. Wasn't even more than 60 or 70% hwy miles...

 

Ya but I find highway doesnt get the best. The 40-45mph is my trucks sweet spot. I usually avoid highways if possible to be honest. I did today on the way back home. Took the back old way and hit 31mpg. Way there was in the 20's taking the highway

 

I don't have any roads near me that allow me to cruise at ~50 MPH in 5th... so the highway is as good as it gets for me. And I usually try to keep it at 60 MPH (to avoid causing an accident) or 50-55 if there's no traffic.

 

Bone stock 2006 4X4 Regular Cab 2.7L with 21,000 miles. Getting 23.4 mpg with mixed driving. It'll hopefully get better as the temperature continues warming up and I learn how to shift the 5 speed a little better

 

That's pretty good - congrats. I have a 2011 4x4 Access Cab 2.7L 5 speed. My best to date is 23.1 mpg's.

I've found the best place to shift for optimal gas mileage is just over 2k rpm.

I think maxpower has the same truck as me and is getting over 26 mpgs - don't know how he's doing that, but it's awesome. I think I'm going to get an Ultra Gauge to help with monitoring mpgs.

 

Scanguage FTW. Shows you a lot you don't think of

 

Posted a month or so ago, got 24 hand calculated. Removed the 2nd filter and added the AFE pro dry. 2 people and a toolbox full of tools got 26 mpg even hand calculated. Drove from Castleton to Waterbury to Burlington and back to Castleton. Not bad for a 4x4 Access Cab.

 

yup thats what Im getting. You stay between 65-85 km/h (40-55 mph) you will get the best gas mileage

 

How do you stay between 40-55? What's the speed limit up there in Nova Scotia? (Or is it just a rural area where you can pretty much drive as you like?)

Here in Phoenix, AZ the speed limit on any of the freeways is 55-65 and most people go around 75 unless traffic slows them down (but then it's stop & go so not exactly like it's great for mileage at that point).

 

That's the worst part, I was between 45 and 65 climbing in and out of the mountains plus stuck in Friday afternoon traffic in Williston and Burlington. Drove like an asshole and still pulled it off.

 

i usually stay off the freeways. I dont need to really. the smaller ones are 80km/h though, larger are 110

 

18.8 mpg
with on and off-roading, beefier tires, and some armor

 

how many MPG did you lose going to those tires?
