Pa to NJ Shore and back. 19.1 MPG with 87 octane, at 65 mph and using the cruise control all the way. About 170 miles each way.

I'm happy with that.............





Screw all these Honda driving morons that scream "Save the Earth".......

At least if I get hit, they won't screw 6 handles onto my truck and paint it black, cause they can't pry me out.......... I drive a full framed truck for a reason: My family. (And I love the sound of a V8 when I'm knee deep into the throttle...............)[8D]

 

nice i go to the shore a lot but i get like 14-15 lol

 

i have an 04. quad cab, hemi, 2wd, and the best i ever had was a drive from toronto to ny city..... was gettting 22.1 mpg on computer.......all the way down the ny thrurway....was nice.....

 

Excuse me, But Your only doing ok, My 06 2500 reg cab 4x4 with the hemi and 6speed 373 lt slip can pull 22 mpg highway, 1800 rpms 60 MPH, I have dual ex and a topper and run mid grade, use mobil 1 syn, but at speeds over 60 mph, reporting milage is a lost cause ...

 

good deal! guess i wasn't happy with good mpg and no payments. traded my 02 4.7for 06 hemi 4x4 megacab 9mpg in town 17 at 65(who drives 65) 13 at 74(where i like to drive) no mds on the mega!!!!

 

Speed really kills the mileage on these things. I set the cruise at 65 all the time, and a lot of people pass me!

I was averaging about 16.5 mixed use stock, and after a catback, intake and superchips program, it's looking like I will get over 19 in the same conditions. I am driving like a granny to get that though. My overhead console reads about 1mpg high pre-program and it's at 20.1 right now after a weekend of city driving, so we will see how accurate it turms out to be after the tune with correct tire height.

My previos truck was a doggy 4 cylinder Ranger that was getting around 20mpg mixed. If I could get near the same, I would be pretty happy.

 

i live in greenville, SC, Myrtle beach is about 4 hours away, i go there many times ayear, cruis control all the way down in 103 degree baking sun windows down i get 22MPG BUT GET THIS, i was headed to CLemson a few weeks ago for the Clemson FSU game, i drafted a transfer truck on the way, and for 9 miles i was about 5 feet off his tail (ye dangerous i know but i like a rush), i got 54.4MPG!!!!!! for NINE miles, i was going uphill at 73 MPH at 1100 rpm .. INSANE!!! then fall back a bit, pedal to the metal and slingshot around that joker feels like your in a fighter jet or somethin, its AWESOME!

 

I think I read that in Consumer reports... they did a save gas/better milage segment.. and one said that if you can get behind a tractor trailer get up nice and close and shut your car off.... the truck will be able to pull you with the wind... or sumtin...

 

That's great..............!! Not the safest thing in the world, but funny none the less..........

 

I have the same 2002 4.7 and the best I have ever gotten was 15-16MPG going about 70MPH over about 4 hours.
