Re: How low can you go....
I think we are seeing the folks with the 5-speed tranny getting the good mileage here.
I get very close to 18 mpg pulling a flatbed trailer with two ATV's. I also have a rooftop hardshell cargo box for added resistance. I keep it at 70 mph or less. I run premium gas and Mobil 1 oil.
Come on 5-speeds lets toot our own horns! (not to mention the crawl ratio) oops did I say that out loud?

Yup. 5-speed manual. I am fairly casual driver. No strong starts. I run 87-octane gas. Under 75 on the highway. Commute to work (25 minutes) is mostly highway. Not very much stop and start. After about 8 fill ups (about 3600 miles on her), I average just above 19mpg. Can't complain.

Re: How low can you go....
From Florida to Arizona I got as much as 21 mpg using air occasionally doing 65 to 70 mph.
I have an automatic tranny.

Re: How low can you go....
Going to and from work and riding around in town I just calculated 19 mpg this morning. I guess they knew what they were doing putting the I-5 into a 4 ton vehicle; acceleration off the line is very strong IMHO, even though I don't do a lot of jackrabbit starts. I use Mobil synthetic also.
I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever at 14,000 miles. Only thing that bugs me is the rear seats don't lay down flat, no rear AC vents for passengers and I need a rear view cam. I backed into and ran over a mailbox yesterday; not a scratch though.

Re: How low can you go....
On a recent trip I got 17mpg w/o trying.
The A/C was one on, 70-75mph, no cruise control on. The truck was loaded not me.
After a long stretch (150 miles+) of dirt roads and a high pass we filled up and I still had 14 gallons in the tank!
I got real similar mileage to my friend's V6 Toyota 4-Runner and I kept telling him my truck weighs more, bigger tires and FT 4x4.

Re: How low can you go....
July 4th weekend holiday drive back from Blacksburg VA, to upstate NY. About 416 miles on the tank of gas when Low Fuel indicator came on. first pic - still has room to go (over 400 miles), second pic (hard to see) 418.8 miles when I pulled into the gas station after a mile of two with low fuel. Filled up the tank. I think it was just over 20 gal.

Re: How low can you go....
I was getting around 19 mpg with stock tires. Now that I jumped to 35s I get 15/16 mpg, around 320 miles on a tank. Not a huge hit in mpg, but I really don't care because i love the look and the compliments I get on the 35s. Just curious, what size tires is everyone running when they post their mpg.

Re: How low can you go....
when u guys test your mileage, do you wait until the low fuel light comes on? or when it just hits "e"?

I agree...I have no idea how you guys all get such great gas mileage (relatively speaking) and I get such ****ty mileage.
The MOST I have ever gotten is maybe 16 and I average around 12 or 13. Could the reason be is that I live and drive in Southern California?????

In defense of Moyello, I think he was commenting on him NOT caring about the change in his gas milage after changing tires.
