One and ONLY gas mileage thread please

[Reagansa]

Brand new truck picked up this morning in Louisburg, Kansas and driven to Denver. 650 miles and dash computed out an average of 11.9. That's a pretty much completely flat drive with some serious winds and the cruise at 77/78 mph the whole way. I'm hoping it gets better with more break in time...

I've got around 2600 miles on her, after a round trip Denver- KC-Denver a couple weeks ago. Average was right around 12 or a little better. City I get 12.5 or so. Did notice the truck actually gets better mileage without using cruise control, and no, I hadn't used it prior to the trip.

I just returned from a 1800 mile trip from Sarasota FL to New Orleans. I averaged 14.1mpg. Bone stock motor just royal purple oil and filter. That was at 75-80mph. When I brought her down to 55-62mph I could get almost 16mpg!! love it! although I don't think I will take it to Mardi gras again. it was crazy.

I don't know when I last checked into this thread, but thought I'd chime in again.

Still getting pretty much the exact same MPG at 41,000 km as I was in the beginning.
I'm gettin 20-21L/100km mixed. or (10-11 MPG) mixed.

Never seemed to change much between regular or higher octanes. With current gas prices.. have been opting to stick with regular.

i think the sweet spot is under 65. hard to do when the limit is 75, but hey, depends on what your fuel bill looks like each month as to how fast you wanna keep driving lol

Update on winter driving today. Drove a lot today in the snow a little more aggressively just for fun. Mpg down to 7.5. Still a whole lot of fun. This truck is magnificent in the deep snow!
