    Last tank the light came on at 632.2 km. Went to 665.5 km then filled up. Got 10.2 L/100km

    After 6 fill ups I'm averaging 11.2 L/100km.

    I would say 80% highway, 20% city. It's only a 2 lane highway so usually going 90-100km/h. Lots of little towns on the way so slow down to 60km/h a few times. Decent size hills as well, up and down.

    Looking forward to summer gas and warmer weather but doubt i will see much of an improvement over my best tank (last one).

    The 6 spd must be geared alot lower than the auto. I run about 1800 at 100km/h. With light acceleration, it shifts around 2000.

    Very true...if I'm doing anywhere close to 110km/hr I'm sitting around 2500rpm in 6th. They really needed a 7th gear in this truck to save on gas..lol.

    Best tank yet, Sudbury to Ottawa drive. 100km/hr, holiday traffic. 468km on the tank as the light came on. 16.7mpg (us), 14.1L/100km.

    Seems to be improving, got the spark plug change and likely no winter gas out there now.

    Sorry though lads, convinced myself to try and find a 1rst gen again. Gas was part of the reason, although it seems to be getting better. My 2010, will be on the market shortly.

    I can't blame you for wanting to get rid of it with the mileage you're getting.

    Man, 14 mpg is horrible IMO. I can't believe that a 4L engine would get that in the 21st century. Just nuts
