What’s your MPG?

Average of 12.8 too/from padre island this past weekend carrying a semi-light load. I37 going 80/85 saw it drop down to 12ish. But the big arse cargo box on roof does not help MPG.

 

Between 10 and 11 L/100km is typically what I get on my daily commute in summer (it's only about 15km).
If I pay close attention to my shifting and don't hit any red lights, I CAN get to work in the 9.5 to 9.8 range.

 

Highway at 68-71 mph: 20 mpg. Maybe 22 mpg on a long trip with cruise control.
City - stoplight traffic, short trips: 12-16 mpg
Typical commuting: 50/50 city/highway, 7 miles e/w: 17-19 mpg

 

Mileage has improved on my stock 2018 DCLB OR, which has 28,000 miles on it. I get 16-17 mpg in town and typically 19-20 mph on the highway going 70-75 mph. My best was 24 mpg. These numbers are calculated at each fill up, and not using the truck’s computer.

 

With the stock weight of this truck and a fairly small liter engine, three points...
1 Modification's severely affect mileage.
2 Driving style severely affects mileage.
3 Speeds above 70mph severely affects mileage.

 

Obviously, not so to many...

 

Just did 900-1000km road trip and was averaging 10.5 - 12.5L /100km on the highway in S5 most of the way - S4 on hills.

Includes my roof rack, a back seat full of luggage and a load from Costco for the higher numbers.

 

I average 21ish and got 21.7 last full tank. 2.7 4x4 with 255 Falken Wildpeaks. Used to average 23ish with the stock 245 Firestones. I'm mostly short trips less than 10 miles.

 

I'm averaging 18-20 this summer depending on the gas station and driving habits sometimes over 20.
DCLB 59k miles, OV 2.0, A/T tires, chin strap removed...AND typically...

 

About 15 driving like a madman; 12 if I drive normally ;-)

 

more fuel does Not cool an engine

 

28 mpg in my 3.5L Camry

 

36mpg in my loaner rav4 lol

 

See signature.
Mostly city driving. Shifting around 4k.
By definition, if it has a manual transmission it is, in fact, a racecar.

 

With the stock tires I was averaging 20 combined.
I put on e-rated cooper 255/85/16 stMaxx and it'll still report 18-19 but obviously off because of the larger diameter tires.

Thought this was funny, stock tires and pretty sure I was on the flat 405....

 

damn straight !!

 

Lean air/fuel mixture (less fuel per volume of air) = hot vs. Rich air/fuel = cooler combustion temperatures.

 

so U believe

rich essentially is INEFFICIENT............. resulting in MORE HEAT

as most INEFFICIENT SCENARIOS

the correct air fuel mixture would be NEITHER

true a very choking EPA lean mixture is no better

over the entire RPM range unfortunately the average engine will experience

lean & rich running under different ‘ LOAD '

 

rich essentially is INEFFICIENT = Yes resulting in MORE HEAT = No
the correct air fuel mixture would be NEITHER True
