5.7L non Etorque.. What are your best Average MPGs (EVIC or manual)?

[Condor757]

Hit a new high today after refueling... 22.7 per the EVIC. 62mph using cruise control on the interstate. Impressed! What are you guys typically getting/what is the best you’ve seen?

Best I have got is 24.8 EVIC. Wyoming to Illinois, tailwind. Same trip Illinois to Wyoming 18.9 EVIC, headwind. 3:21 gears.

You're cherry picking with your method. Run a full tank and hand calculate then report back.
Mine is same engine as yours and my MPG blows. Mostly short trips in-town driving for me with a light foot and i can't get better than about 12.5 MPG hand calculated.
I did notice that at 72mph on flat interstate with no wind I get 18mpg and at 76mph I get 17mpg on the EVIC. But that's just a snapshot in time.

22.6 mpg @ 65-70 NYS Thruway driving. 18 mpg + - in town, so no complaints.

15.9 is my best.

 

[Condor757]

Thanks all I will manually calculate when I finish this tank.
Edit: I have 3.92 gears

24.2 with cruise set at 68-70

I would love to get over 20 but I am wayyyy happy with my 17.3 MPG while not towing. I came from a 2007 Ram 1500 5.7 with MDS and was only getting 14.2 MPG while not towing. And both were 3.92 gears... Very happy with the MPG and I am at 43,128 Miles. Sorry to break the thread since I do have the e-Torque.

My best yet was from Orlando to Miami and back. Roads are straight and flat, 89 octane fuel and adaptive cruise set to 72. Me and a passenger with 150 lbs cargo on the way down. Stopped for lunch, dropped off the cargo then picked up 300 lbs cargo for the return trip. Lie o meter said 23.7 in my driveway.

22.7 on a trip from NJ to SC and back, 70-80 mph 3 people and about 200lbs in the bed.
Not bad at all.

Just bought the truck last Monday. I've commuted to work and back (Fredericksburg, VA to Arlington, VA), about 49 miles each way, 3 days this week. The route is slightly hilly, on a slightly downhill slant towards the Occoquan River, then uphill for a few miles before beginning a slow descent toward the Potomac River. Home is about 175 feet above sea level, whereas my job is situated at about 10 feet. Speeds between 65-70 most of the way. Not driving aggressively at all.
With all that said, my first day I finished at 24.1 mpg. Second day - 25.3 mpg. And the 3rd - 26.1!
Yeah, I'm skeptical too. This was using the EVIC. I'll know more when I fill up, drive it, and fill up again and do a manual calculation. But can you imagine if it's true?

BTW, on the way home I didn't reset the AVG MPG meter and by the time I had climbed to my 175 feet, the reading was between 22 and 23 mpg. Still pretty good for a truck this size. We'll see what the manual calculations say next week.

17.92 hand calculated on a 350 mile trip at 75-80mph
Falken Wildpeak AT3w/ 275/60/20 P Rated.
4x4 3.92 Gears
For comparison my 2019 F150 3.50 Eco/10speed
same tires and 3.55 gears would return 20.6mpg

15.9 is my best.

SAME, I just cant get that sweet 16!

 

[emings]

My best so far is 18.2 hand calculated im consistently at 16mpg in a mix of city and highway driving

 

[Condor757]

Ok I just filled up and hand calculated. Results from a 339 mile tank of gas:

EVIC = 17.1 mpg
Hand calculated: 17.27 mpg.

This was a mix of city and highway. Looks like the EVIC is pretty accurate!

How about a KN air filter change and an Outlaw by pass tube to eliminate that bathtub muffler! Im suffering with my 2020 4x4, 392 gears Rebel not breathing.

I have had 2 Trips recently that were both over 3,000 of mixed driving. I averaged almost 18.6 on one trip and 18.4 on the other. Truck is lifted, 3.92’s, and 35” tires with a snug top topper. My EVIC is within .1 mpg. Around town I average 13.3 consistently.
