miles to empty

Troutrad said:

Wife and I took a drive from our place on Ashley Lake to Spotted Bear River rd (NW Montana) for a little fly fishing. It’s 200ish miles round trip with over 100 miles on dirt roads going around Hungry Horse Reservoir. The wife likes a relaxed ride so.... Thought I’d find out what kinda “miles to empty” I’d get after excursion. Don’t think I’ll ever see this again:

Did you ever reach speeds over 40mph? Lol. Obviously no stop and go. I have had over 600 at least once before, driving the truck easy on that tank.

While the dirt roads aren’t the best for mileage, we just cruised around 45-ish most of the way. The wife doesn’t dig the run-n-gun way I drive when alone or with my fishing buddies so I just cruised and avoided the brake just to see what kinda mileage it would deliver. Still had to pass through the flathead valley at 65ish and up over a pass to get back home.

And almost no one on the road. I passed 2 people on the way in and a smattering coming the other way, and literally saw one car on the way out.

93 octane SCAB 400 miles max. I push the gas pedal down a lot...

550 miles
