So yesterday i drove down to denver from fort collins, its about an 80 mile drive, up and down hills. i reset my computer mpg calculator right when i got on the freeway and put the cruise control on at 68 mph. when i got home i was happy to see this. i know the computer can be pretty inaccurate, but regardless of that it still put a smile on my face just thought i would share. this is a 02 QC 4.7 auto by the way. what is everybody else gettin on the highway???

Haha actually im lucky if my truck breaks 15mpg going down hill lol

 

thats what my truck dreams about getting

 

Well recently I have pretty much done 40% highway and 60% "city" driving and on my last fillup (yesterday) I hand calculated it to just about 17 mpg. I think it's pretty good, especially since it was pullin about 13.5 in the winter even though it's the 3.9. So i am happier now.

 

I filled up yester day after a mix of city and highway driving, i always hit my trip whenever i fill up so i divided how many miles i drove by how many gallons it took to fill up and had gotten 16 mpg, and this is with a 98' extended cab R/T 5.9L 360. So after seeing what the v6's get im glad i got the big motor.

 

argh... this makes me mad. lol

 

I get between 16 and 17 average, but on the highway it reads about 22 (thats the display above the mirror though, for how accurate it is)

 

yeah i bet, i dont get how but i aint complainin, i might order a e-fan this weekend to so i can try to get a lil more

 

I don't get it either. we had a 360 durango and that got about 12. Although, that was 4 wheel drive so it's probably because yours isn't. But neither is mine so in that case mine should be about 20 haha. I have an efan in mine since it's an 02. just put a Heavy Duty fan clutch in too because my old one wasn't disengaging.

 

I love warm weather and summer gas...this was 150 miles today..the overhead never said it was below 80 degrees the whole time!!!
