What's your gas mileage?
Just wondering..I get about 15 MPG on a not so good day to 17 or maybe 17.2 on a better day. I track my MPG on www.fuelly.com. I work at home so I don't get to drive a whole lot. A full tank of gas will last me a month or longer. When I do drive it is usually just short trips around town to the grocery store, the bank or out to eat some place close to home. I use Marathon gas most of the time, it is the only "name brand" gas we have around here besides BP. I have my reasons but I will not use BP gas or Castrol oil.

first off i have NEVER got the mpg other people do. i have a 2001 dak V-6 auto trans, all stock except i had my shop put a 4.1 gear and posi. factory gear was 3.55 gear. my mpg went from 8-9 to 13-14. the reason? i only drive 30 to 40 mph, in town. what happened was the gear change let the trans run in top gear at 30 mph. at the end of low gear the tach geos to 2500 rpm, then it never goes over 2000 rpm. at 30-40 cruseing the tach is 1400-1500 rpm. i have no idea what driving the hi way would do.

Back when I was commuting to work 56 miles round trip, 5 days a week I would get about 17.5 to 18.5 MPG. That was mostly interstate miles though. The absolute best I ever got was 22 MPG, on a long interstate trip up through Atlanta to South Carolina and back home to Florida. My truck does better on highway miles and when I can use the cruise control. Now I try to get it out on a good highway trip at least once a week.
