Worst Gas Mileage - Post It!

My road trip today with my trailer and wind against me I averaged right at 13 on the way back I got around 14-15

 

I get 10 mpg cruising through the red lights and traffic of Montreal. Happy to live in the suburb.

 

9 with this year with winter letting it warm up all city miles no interstae or highway what so ever and a heavy right foot.

 

I know you guys are talkin 2nd gens, but I just got 175 miles to 17 gallons (10~mpg) crusing through Halifax's red lights. So apparently city doesn't make a difference. haha

 

haha yeah, but with this tiny fuel tank it makes a long trip stopping for fuel every 100 miles (or less, to not run out on these lonely stretches of highway). Its a good thing I kept my 1 ton dodge diesel for doing any sort of work. Pulling 20,000lbs behind the dodge, I still get 12mpg. Pulling 2,400 lbs behind the taco I get 6. I know, I know apples to oranges. I am not shocked or disappointed. I bought the taco to be my car, with a room for groceries and a couple of muddy mutts.

 

I got a 15mpg tankfull last week with my 2.7L. The worst in 40K (without having something tied to the hitch). Putting in tracks for the grader to follow in 4LO really sucks the dead dinosaurs. A couple of 15 below mornings didn't help the cause either. The last couple of tankfuls were over 20mpg again, thankfully...

 

i am pulling a small (2000 pound) uhaul to MA and i got 8.5 mpg all the way through kansas.

when i had my titan, i got 12mpg pulling a 6000 pound car carrier.

as someone mentioned before...... apples to oranges.....

 

19.76 on a 5 lug but it was running for 10 minutes every morning. while i was scraping the ice and snow off. That was the only time i got worse then 20. i average about 22.

 

so ive come to the conclusion that all your worst MPG is my best...

 

13.5 mpg on a 150 mile trip......towing a utility trailer with a golf cart

 

Worst was 12.95 mpg carrying a 1000 lb pop-up camper going 75-80 mph. I usually average around 16 mpg when I carry my camper going 60-65 mph. That's 3 less mpg for an extra 10-15 mph. My best was 24.1 on Hwy 1 in northern CA. where you have to go 50 mph most of the time because the people driving in front of you are driving slow as they take in the beauty of the California coast.

 

All these numbers vary so much! They're still not too bad as my average with my Tundra was 15mpg and for some of you it's the "worst" with your Tacoma. I hope to get about 18mpg when I get my Tacoma.

 

Summer gas must be coming out now.....past 2 weeks my average went from high 18's to 20+.

 

Same here. Even saw a 21 mpg on one tank. No idea why, unless they switched to summer gas? Normally 17-18 mpg.

 

I got 13.2 mpg recently towing a 3500 lb Trailmanor hard sided pop-up camping trailer driving into wind gusts up to 75 mpg in Colorado and Wyoming. After I passed the wind gusts I was getting 17-18 mpg so not too bad all in all.

 

With the extra lift & bigger tires....now down to 11mpg

 

Necro bump.
New truck stock tires, averaging about 17 +/- with lots of towing.

 

I burned a few tanks last autumn, before winter blend, towing my camper which logged in the mid 13s. That's why I'm regearing. Towing over mountain passes with load E 33s and stock gears...

 

According to my Fuelly account my worst was 13.6. I am suspicious that the previous tank was not a complete fill up though because the fill up before and after was much higher.

On one tank of highway driving at a steady 60 mph I got 23.3 but about went nuts with everyone passing me.

Normal highway mileage for me is 20.3 to about 20.8 and city driving is about 17.6 to 18.4 including some fairly light traffic. This is with me trying to keep the tach at 2000 rpms or less.

 

9.9 mpg is my worst according to fuelly.com app.

Used 16 gallons on Kokopelli trail

2nd worse was headwinds through Kansas...11.0 mpg
