Real world MPGs / What are you averaging?

19 is all I've managed to obtain since I got mine.

I have actually considered a Colorado or a Ranger. Frontier will redesign in 2022. Would not touch a Taco.
19 is great! I’d be happy with that on a stock truck
 
After installing the camper/topper average mpgs have dipped a little…

I’ve never trusted the dash mounted lie-o-meter. I have never found them to be accurate. Calculated is the only true way to tell what you are really getting. But, I have to say that my current truck is not as far off as past vehicles. Hand calculated (app) shows that I’ve put in 1,082.147 gallons in since new and I’m averaging 13.8 MPG (heavy right foot). The best was 16.1, which was a mostly highway road trip. But, better than my 2006 Cummins which averaged 12.8. But, it was far from stock 😎.

I don't know what you're talking about. Mine tells me I'm getting 28.2mpg city and I'm choosing to believe that it's spot on.⛽

I hear ya! I would love to go around 900 miles between fill ups.

I hand calculated the first 3-4 tanks of gas and it was never more than .35 mpg different than the computer. That's good enough for me.

I get about 17.5 mpg in the summer and 15.5 in the winter. 80/20 city/highway in the summer and less than 5% highway this winter.
 
3.92, 4 inch lift, 20 pound right foot. I average 14.3 mpg at a little over 15k on the odometer.

@Mr. Grumpy , I see in your signature that you have 3.92 Rear alxle ratio. What do you have for the front?😂
 
I have meticulously recorded every gas fill up since new (maybe a little OCD?). I am averaging overall 17.51 MPG for 11,414 miles, using an app called Road Trip for iPhone. The breakdown for driving conditions is in the attached screen shot. The towing is for a flat bed trailer with a Honda Talon SXS on it, about 3500 lbs.

Whoa! Buddy, there has to be a specialist that can help you with this. Maybe try some holistic treatments like yoga, meditation or even extreme sports if you can handle this. It might work before you have to resort to medication.

😝

Just pulling your leg. You have way more attention for detail than I do! 👍

I guess I need a specialist too🤣 I’ve got my mileage all tracked on Fuelly, I get 17.5 average which I’m pretty happy with given I floor it quite often…

Yeah, too much for me. But my engineer wife would print, date, initial and file that. Oh and bust out the label maker. :LOL:
