Mostly 17.6 but rises to 18.5 on interstate. Dipped to 16ish a few time in heavy traffic.

Anyone else notice slightly better MPG on 87 than on 91/93?



I have. But in my area everything has up to 15% ethanol.

I've run 87 since new. 1-2 tanks of 93 and saw no difference in performance and worse highway mileage

*** 25mpg ***

Got 25mpg....okay 24.9, but had I not gotten off the interstate I know it would have hit 25 no problem. The instantaneous MPG meter was always hovering in the mid-20's.

Road was mostly flat, just a few small hills. Don't think there was any wind. Cruise was set to 56mph.

Im getting 11.9. Mostly city. Hand calculated. I have a hard time believing some of the over 18mpg claims

I'm averaging 16 in mixed driving. But there are times I'm in the 20s. The trip computer has a bar chart that shows MPG over 30 minute intervals. The truck does pretty well droning along on the highway at moderate speeds. Stop and go is what kills the MPGs.

The best I've seen on the lie o meter has been 17.5. That's not highway, just slow, stop and go and some 55 stretches. I want to see what it will do on a long trip soon.

I show on my display 17.3 average since new and I am at 4200 miles. This is in 98% Sport Mode with all fill ups using 87 octane. I have been on 2 trips on the Interstate to North Carolina and Pennsylvania. The rest of the time I am driving on 2 lane roads climbing up and down the mountains of West Virginia. Sport Mode is perfect for these roads. I very seldom touch the brakes going down hill in Sport Mode because the truck is trying to keep the RPM's about 2000 and downshifts as low as 3rd gear. I am interested to see how long the brakes will last using Sport Mode.

Computer says 17.0 for one fill up. I've been resetting it each time and it settles out at 17.0. Manual calculation puts me at 15.6-16.0. Depending on the tank.
