What are you getting for MPG around town?

[Sasquatch]

i went to my property in central new york this weekend. 141 miles away loaded with about 300 lbs of dogs and a few hundred lbs of other stuff.

i did about 60% highway at 75-80 mph the whole way. the entire way there and back is up and down hills and i got 18.1 mpg. if it was flat terrain i`m absolutely sure i`d be at 20mpg+ it`s the first trip up there i`ve made since the BB tune and CAI. last trip i made before the tune and cai i got 16.5 mpg.

These trucks like being rallyed, mine is much more responsive when I stand on it all the time. I can't get worse than 13mpg driving like a lunatic so I honestly don't care about driving slower. I'll usually just wind it out getting on the interstate but it's so loud I have to open it up.

i noticed this when i was tryin to follow you to your house haha

well i got 17.1 mpg last tank..it was like 115 miles on 20 bucks at 2.99..that was half city and half interstate, part pulling a u haul trailer..so maybe my little intake system helped..im driving 200 miles to school tonight so hopefully i can test if its gettin better or not..

well today was a wierd experience lol..I pulled a uhaul to school for the gf. it was the biggest enclosed one they have, so it weights like 1500 unloaded..had 2 couches, a fridge, chairs, bed etc in it..prolly 3k at least..i pulled that 175 miles to school going 70 and then drove the 175 miles home without it, for 350 miles total and then the gas light came on..my MAX ever was 355 miles and that was cruising interstate for the entire time going 65..so id say my little intake mod/cleaning the maf and filter helped..its just a bit over 17 mpg and that was with pulling that uhaul..

also on the way home i got rolled for tint, tinted tails, clear turns in front, cracked windshield..fix it tickets..pain in the ass

good to hear the MPG's are going up... these motors are some air hungry bitches.

sucks about the tickets though, its those stories that make me glad to live in AZ, none of those things are illegal here (unless tint is too dark on the driver and passenger window)

well my mpg around town still sucks, but i just pulled 19.5 on the interstate runnin 74 miles an hour..164 miles and 7.8 gallons i think..pretty legit..that was with 4 people and bags as well

you around town MPG is most likely (at this point) mostly effected by your driving habits, maybe a little to quick off the line and breaking later then you should. If i let my girlfriend drive my truck, my MPG's go down a bunch... same truck, different driver = different MPG's

 

[Nickleahy23]

i really try to drive like a ***** lol..always coasting, barely hitting the speed limit..i guess i did get almost 15 in town last time..maybe im just wanting too much haha..my bagged truck would pull 23 highway and 19 city and that was a 350

these hoe's are HEAVY ASS BEASTS... you also have larger heavier rims that are going to hurt your gass milage... my twenties are aluminum so even though they are over sized, they down weigh much.

10.5 MPG not bad i think
