Who's got my fuel mileage beat?

[reckless kelly]

Just an FYI. Factory equipment for now, new Diesel Rubi, 33's, 3.73 gears. 100 mi in rolling hills in North Texas 2 lane, small towns to I-35 @ 70-75 mph across Oklahoma to Ks. Hot, humid weather.
Encouraging mpg as it breaks in. We'll see............

Come on, even with a diesel, is this doing 55 mph only? I try to keep my foot out of it on my diesel, and keep it at 2k rpm when on the interstate, and my best was 24, most of the time 23.6

Actually it was driving from Gainesville, FL to South of Tallahassee, through multiple small towns where I had to stop and get back up to speed. It also included off-roading miles. Top speed was 65 I think. The sections where I was traveling 55 & 60 I was averaging 29 to 32. Yes, it’s an oil burner.

I’ll check, but at 2k, I’m running 75-80 I can’t remember. When I drive that fast I’m in the 24-25 range.

Hi All:
I don't know if i beat anybody, but had to add my two cents about the "Trip" graphic shoeing in almost all pictures. It, to me, is UGGGLY. I need to see my MPH at all times so it is in the middle I put the MPG readout in the top middle. It is roiling readout so i can adjust my driving habits.

It’s ugly because you’re driving a gasser. The diesel version is better.

I averaged 27.5 mpg on a round trip from Dallas to Dover. Sorry, I didn't take a picture of the proof. My best tank was 29.7 mpg.

. That’s pretty good…. Any chance you fill up at the top of a long downhill stretch

I hit any speed over 68mph and it drops from 26-28 to 24s. Still can’t complain about the box!

Filled up in Flagstaff and drove to Albuquerque. 347 miles on half a tank. Yeah there are some ups and downs. Headwinds and tailwinds. Kept in in 8th gear manual the whole way as to not shift. 1597 ft loss in elevation over 347 miles approximately 4.6 ft per mile. I wouldn't consider that a lot over that distance.

You guys sip your gas like those pansy British sip their tea. Pathetic.

LMAO
