Question on mpg

[Agriv8r]

400 miles.....30 gallons (dont want to use the unusable)....13.3 miles to the gallon.....you will make it on one tank.......they are just saying that because in a 6400 lb truck we dont like to run them that low....

13.3 MPG?
Do you drive 40 MPH everywhere you go?
I'm not even close to that! If I'm lucky I get 10 MPG

But $300.00 is much more than you need for gas

600 Miles @ 10 MPG = 60 Gal
60 Gal @ $3.25 a Gal = $195.00
Gas Budget = $300.00
--
Actual Gas = $195.00

Leaves $105.00 balance to buy me a present
Have "fun" in the Sun!

Yeah but that's coming and going. So, 400 miles almost to Tampa. Then we come home next weekend, so another 400 miles. 800 total almost. Alas, no presents.

I'm getting 8 and change. Conservatively, that's 100 gallons, round trip. At $3.25, thats $325 bucks. So your original estimate is not unreasonable. Need some $ for chewing gum & Diet Pepsi!

Have fun in the tropics!

Driving mine with the AC on, I get around 13 doing 65 mph, around 10 doing 80 mph.

Have a safe trip here, I live on Harbour island, will watch your ship go past!

By the way, 87 octane is running $2.99 a gallon here in Tampa. If you got nav, it's at the corner of Kennedy and Boulevard, about a mile from the cruise ship dock.

Oh, thank you so much. I do have a GPS so I'll let Rich know to be on the lookout for it. We're staying at a hotel a few miles away from the port.

No, they're saying that because most of us don't get 13.3 miles to the gallon.

Nor 12.3

Nor 11.3

Nor 10.3

Nor 9.3

However, I do break the 8.3 on trips.... I do so much better around town than on the highway.

This being your first trip, I'd overbudget. As you can see, the gas mileage varies. With my stock H2, I was getting 15 mpg on highway. With a lift and 37s, I get 9.

Well, we're in Tampa. We've put in a little over $100 in gas but we're not empty now either, nor were we when we started. I think another $100 or so on the way home should do it but then again, I suck with numbers. I'll have to get the final tally after we're all done and I can do things at my desk, etc.

You drive like a girl!

Girl driving like a man = scary.

[Agriv8r]

all you guys getting less than 10 on the highway need to let off the emergency brake......i get better than that in the city and i dont drive 40 everywhere, or even anywhere.....as you can see from her post less than a tank.....the rest of all need to get your rigs checked....
