2014+ Gas Mileage (MPG) Topic

[JL83]

Actually I live in Phoenix.. which for the most part is really flat. We have well timed traffic lights which means that I don't have to stop every mile. I have a Intake, cat back, and diablo tuner. 27 is pushing it.. i routinely get 25

And this is city, highway or mixed. Still hard for me to believe and I'm sure I'm not the only doubter on the forum, but hey who cares- it's your story.

about 5 miles highway, 10 city, I work nights so traffic is light and I can drive live an old man. Before my mods I was getting around 22mpg

As for a story.. well I don't care if you believe it or not.

And that is the beauty of the internet. As far as not believing you, I can guarantee that there will be many more who agree with me.

 

It's your credibility, you had 6 posts when you uploaded that pic of your mileage, but the "over how many miles" was cropped out. Really

 

Is your truck a hybrid?

So I was a bit of a lurker when I first joined the forum.. And what would I have to gain by posting proof of me getting good gas milage? I assumed everyone was around 20-22MPG..

And no not a hybrid, I didn't think they made those for 2014?

I have a 2014 Silverado LT 5.3, Magnaflow Catback, aFe dry intake, and a Diablo tuner in MPG mode... That combined with not driving like someone from Oklahoma and apparently I get above average milage.

From Oklahoma, Hmm.... that was a real adult comment. I'm not from Oklahoma, but I do live here.

 

If you posted 20-22, that's believable. Not 27.

i have 2700 miles, i was consistantly between 19 and 22 from sept till mid november, then the cold weather hit.. from between 12 deg and 35deg F, between the additional warm up and i would assume a richer map when its that cold and dry im now in the 15-19 range, not a huge deal just all part of winter time

I believe him for a 25 mile average. My best 25 mile average is 29.4, that was on a flat highway with cruise control @ 58mph. I generally get around 17-18 though, even less now that it's cold and I'm using remote start.

Over 25 miles is believable, but not over the span of a tank of fuel.

Winter Gas will drop your milage by 2 or 3 MPG.

i thought that but is there even winter gas anymore now that everything is e10? a friend and i were just wondering this

[mzodarg]

I don't know for sure if they sell winter gas anymore, but I do know that every winter my milage drops on everything I drive to include my Harley.

 

In Colorado, (where I'm from) They used to add MTBE (Methyl tertiary-butyl ether)every winter to the gas. it was designed to reduce carbon monoxide emissions during the winter months. Not sure if they still do it, but your MPG was drastically effected.

Over Thanksgiving we averaged 22.3 on highway cruise at 68 mph.

I think so. I think most of my gas mileage takes a shit in the winter due to remote start and a short 4 mile drive to work.

[youcantkeepup!]

i know MTBE is not legal in new youk anymore for on road or off road fuel, i used to run race gas in my 250f back on 04 and the formula had to be changed to be MTBE free in NY
