Default Re: How low can you go....

From Florida to Arizona I got as much as 21 mpg using air occasionally doing 65 to 70 mph.

I have an automatic tranny.

Going to and from work and riding around in town I just calculated 19 mpg this morning. I guess they knew what they were doing putting the I-5 into a 4 ton vehicle; acceleration off the line is very strong IMHO, even though I don't do a lot of jackrabbit starts. I use Mobil synthetic also.

I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever at 14,000 miles. Only thing that bugs me is the rear seats don't lay down flat, no rear AC vents for passengers and I need a rear view cam. I backed into and ran over a mailbox yesterday; not a scratch though.

Default Re: How low can you go....

On a recent trip I got 17mpg w/o trying.

The A/C was one on, 70-75mph, no cruise control on. The truck was loaded not me.

After a long stretch (150 miles+) of dirt roads and a high pass we filled up and I still had 14 gallons in the tank!

I got real similar mileage to my friend's V6 Toyota 4-Runner and I kept telling him my truck weighs more, bigger tires and FT 4x4.
