[QUOTE="OriginalToken, post: 1280018, member: 27465"] If my experience is any indicator, then yes, it absolutely can be right. First thing I have noticed is the trip computer calculated mileage tends to be a bit long. Mine may indicate 18 MPG when the reality is more like 17 or a tad less. Or if it shows 15.5 I am someplace in the high 14’s. Whatever the case my indicated mileage has always been higher than reality. Next thing I have noticed is that mileage in this truck is very drag dependent. I typically get better mileage at city speeds, even factoring traffic lights and periodic stops, or low speed highway stuff, than I do at my “normal” (a bit over posted limit) highway speeds. At 45 MPH I can get well over 25 MPG for extended periods of time. An example. My daily commute is 32 miles one way. 5 miles of it in light city traffic, the rest on either 55 or 65 MPH posted two lanes, with a couple of stop signs. If I am not hard on the starts and I do exactly the speed limits I can get over 19 MPG across the week. Calculated by mileage and amount of fuel used, not on the trip MPG indicator. But, driving it more “normal” for me, including 6 to 12 MPH over anytime I am not inside the city (I don’t exceed posted limits in city) and crisper starts, I get more like 16 to 17 MPG across the week. If I get a little spirited I can push that down to 14 to 15 MPG pretty easy. When I drive to the big city (120 miles away) I start getting better mileage once I get to the city. The entire trip going there I am typically at speed (75 – 85), and drag is killing the MPG. There are very real differences in MPG between say 60 and 70, and a bigger step from 70 to 80+. Once I get to the city and in traffic (as long as it is not honest stop and go) I often get better mileage. Off road though, yeah, mileage sucks there ;) Most of my 4x4 is in 4 LO, and 10 MPG averages, or less, are common. (edit) I might add, use of the Adaptive Cruise Control in traffic kills the mileage. It always decelerates and accelerates a bit harder than required. I like the feature, but it does not help gas mileage at all. T! [/QUOTE]
