Default Mileage Help

I recently did a little trip:

1055 KM 172 Liters of fuel.

Can someone tell me my mileage.

Remember this is in KM not miles.

1055km/172L=6.134 km/L OR
1055km = 655.55 miles, 172L = 45.44 US Gallons so 655.55Mi/45.44Gal=14.43MPG

after i installed my k&n fipk, and removed my jet module, i got 13MPG. a big improvement. but when i installed my 52mm TB, it went just below 10mpg. but the extra power combined with the new cat, is worth the fuel sacrafice. over 14mpg is really good!

I just filled up today from a half a tank and it seems I'm getting about 14MPG. I'm going to run the test again and see how accurate it is.

well, when I filled up I had hit 206 miles at half a tank and it took 14.8 gallons to fill it up which comes out to 13.9 mpg. My truck is a 5.9 auto 4x4 club cab and its rolling on 285/75/16. But when you look at whats been done to it...got it with a flowmaster exhaust from the cat and I installed a tb spacer, intake, and a superchips programmer. And I do a lot of mixed city/highway driving seeing hyow I'm stuck out here in the middle of no where. Oh and I don't drive like a old person either! If the speed limit is 65, I'm going 70-75, no option, and whenever I have to stop at a light or stop sign, I'll hit the gas and be up to 25-30 mph by the time I cross the intersection. I'm not a slow driver really, I can't stand being slow and I definatly can't stand driving down the highway with someone in front of me going the speed limit with no one in front of them. So yea, the fast that I get about 14 mpg is kinda shocking when comparing to other peoples truck.
