What is your DCLB MPG?

Thats not very good for a chevy volt.

 

Bro you are so tough. I'll bet you've been to prison

 

lol Whats that even suppose to mean? I didn't know chevy volt comments made people tough.

 

3" lift, 285/70r17 bfg km2's, steel plate bumpers front and rear, sliders, steel toolbox loaded with tools I get around 15ish on average. 13 1/2 with the rtt on and camping gear loaded.

 

You're right bro friends don't talk to friends like that. My volt is in the shop

 

Okay I'll play. Since I bought the truck used a year ago (110k) I keep a mole skin that I write done every fill up cost,gal and mileage. So I can do quick checks on MPG.
Now the commute.. I drive 120 miles a day round trip to work, All highway. Different speeds range from 55/60 to 65/70 mostly 60 through. I drive kind like a grandpa just really cautious since they're lots of Tourist drivers (damn utahards) and large animals everywhere.
Here are the specs: 2005 Stock 140k with tow package,new Toyo ATII 245, Leer topper, OEM roof rack and sliders/foot rail. I run mobile 1 full syn.
Now fuel: I started running reg 87 I'd average 21/22. For awhile I went to 91 ethanol free and averaged about 22/23. I switched back to 87 ethanol free so right now I'm at 21/23.
The best I've ever had was 24/24.5 but I was really easy on her and popped into neutral a lot when I roll through small towns or going down hill.

 

I'm not saying that is not possible but... I have to agree 23 seems a little high, considering you're going 75mph. Especially with the gas and traffic we have in SoCal.

 

Well it is possible coz it did happen. I drove it to sequoia. Cruising 70-75mph. This is flat, no traffic no incline. Now if your trying to say, traffic and road condition that's a different story.

 

@big_jarv would you believe me if I say the first time I got my truck out the lot from the dealer I average 14mpg city and 18mpg hwy and 15-16mpg mix driving?

 

I thought you said it wasn't a one time set up thing? So you don't average 23,you just got it once in ideal conditions. Lol people on this site crack me up

 

Did I say 23mpg average?

 

I get 15.9mpg.. I don't think it's gonna get any better for me.

 

I'd be happy with 19 mpg highway as my 2002 3.4/MT got 18 or 19 highway.

 

It's good if you get 18-19 my friend first gen prerunner gets 15

 

Final drive gear in the manual transmission needed to be taller I think. At 75 mph I was revving at about 2850 rpm or so. So I never went much faster than 75 unless I wanted to pass...and if I wanted to pass, it usually had to be while I was going downhill lol.

 

With my set up now max I get is 16 and if I get lucky 17mpg. I'm running E rated tire and there heavy.

 

Damn that's a high. Mine is 2k ish rpm @75mph.

 

@TacoJonn stock gear or did you regear?

 

Are you talking about your gen 2 or an old gen 1? I am talking about my old gen 1 that I recently traded in. It was a manual transmission which has a different top gear than the auto. It was bone stock.

 

Oh I see, yea I'm talking about your first gen
