THE ULTIMATE FUEL MILEAGE THREAD

[Cschafer]

Catogory 3, Best 20 (when i got it), I averaged about 15-16 with 40in tires, and now with 35's average about 17-18.

[CAJUN 93]

#6 (mine) based on last 5 years of fuel reciepts- 19.83 mpg
#5a (hers) based on last 1.5 years of fuel receipts- 17.29 mpg

[ADMOPARMAN]

7a. 13.8

Winter blend with some warm-up idling, mostly hwy @ 60MPH.

Cajun93 is like me, I keep fuel logbooks in every vehicle, I can average fuel economy for 30-50000 miles. I keep track of mileage trends so I can determine what effects things have on mileage. For example driving in Indiana in flat ground country I can average 1-2mpg better than I average in the hill country around here.

5a. 18-20 mpg. marc

1a 12-13 m/gal.

7a: '93 W250 SRW auto
Best ever: 20 mpg on a 350-mile trip
Summer: 17.5 mpg on a 15-mile one-way commute
Winter: 16 (same commute, cold weather, w/ hubs in and/or 4x4 engaged part of the time)
Overall average I would put at 17 mpg

This isn't the one in my sig--this is the one (regular cab) I sold in October that I had for 10 years, bone stock. Haven't been able to afford to fill the new one yet to check the mileage!

[PToombs]

#5 19 ish, usually, if I can keep my foot out of it!
21 on the way to SOP, at about 75-80 mph. If I hook up the trailer (25' goose) 10 or 11.

Mine is a 5A 17-20. The worst I have recorded is 17.1 before mods. Since mods 17.6 was the worst. LOL

[Bob Beauchaine]

I've got just over 201,000 miles on mine - I bought it new and have tracked every drop of fuel I've put into it - 18.48 MPG. Best was 23.56 worst was 9.8.

7a. Best = 19 (interstate)
Worst = 9 (4x4, pulling, offroad...)
Avg ~ 14-16 (short trips, hills)
Pulling = 12 (4-10,000lbs)

ok... so how do u guys determ your fuel milage like this. got an example?ine

[KTA]

I write my fuel stops in a logbook. When I fill up I note the mileage and how many gallons. By doing this I can average fuel mileages for months or years, all I have to do is add up the miles and the gallons used for that time period and divide it out to get my mileage.
