Re: What is your avg mpg?

I got 14.4 while driving to Minneapolis from Winnipeg (600 highway miles??). I've NEVER seen it so high :D

Re: What is your avg mpg?
 

The altitude and the wind make a HUDGE difference. Seems like what will get 15-16 on long island, NY will get 11-12 in colorado.

FYI:
On long island, NY (Sea level) I have gotten my ford expedition (4.6L) to 19.8 on the highway with the mirrors folded in, the tires over inflated by 10lbs, and the roof rack bars removed. You wouldnt beleave how much of a difference folding those dam big ass mirrors in makes! Safety note, only do this on a deserted highway (As i did one late night in NJ).

I need a second car. I might have to pick up a jetta diesel, drove on the other day....nice power. My buddy gets 45 real world mpg driving normally!!! Towing a 2 place snowmobile trailer with 2 snowmobiles on it in the hills of upstate NY he still gets 35mpg!!! AMAZING. Gay I know, but dont worry my H2 aint going anywhere (At least until i can get a duramax h2)!

MPG is so up to the manufacturer. The euro diesel jetta has a bigger motor, more power and it gets 81mpg. I guess its all a matter of how much time the manufacturer will invest in getting the car/truck efficent.

Re: What is your avg mpg?
 

If I kept it below 2000RPM's ....between 15-17 depending on road conditions. (hwy)

City....anywhere from 0-10......depending on my mood!:mad: :D

Re: What is your avg mpg?
 

filtering out offroad miles, the average for my truck since 2000 miles is about 14.7, overall average is 13.5, my last tank was 15.1, but when i filled i put in more gas than the computer reported the truck had used.

So, either my computer is a bit optimistic, or there was just variance between stations (when the pump shuts off, angle, something)
