Ijust came back from New Hampshire put on about 500 miles and I averaged 15.5 never saw it any higher

2002 6.0 HD Crew Cab with 8' Bed. Around 13 in town and 17 on highway. that is of course keeping your foot away from the firewall.

 

But as I tell others when they ask why do I drive my truck, I can't haul 5 people and 40 sheets of plywood in a Aveo.

BTW 11-14. The heaviest thing I tow is a bass boat. MPG doesnt really change with that behind me. 285 tires didn't affect my mileage either.

I've done full highway trips where I get a bit over 16. Most of the time I get mid 14s (75/25 highway/town). I've tried seeing what the absolute best mpg I could get was and as painful as it was driving like a grandma I averaged 16 mixed. Driving like a freaking maniac I got 13.5.

 

I once towed max CGVW and got 9.5

 

Note: If the outside air temp drops below say the upper 40s I get 13.5 mpg regardless of how I drive.

Just did a 350+ mile trip, 90% highway speeds (70+), 2500HD 4x4 reg cab long bed 54k with tonneau cover and I got 14.5 mpg.

 

The best I think I ever got was back when it was under 10K and I got 15.1 I think.

01 1500 HD all numbers are mixed BEST-17 Worst-11 Average-14

[DownhomeVA]

02 2500HD

 

9.3 around town

 

11 highway (varies some depending on speed/tow/etc)

 

i spend most of my business days driving around town - the gas is miserable, but i wouldn't have it any other way

I'd like to know why my numbers are so much higher than everyone elses.

BJD3--Is your truck a 2wd or did you just remove the stickers? Does it have 3.73 gears? I know weight and gearing will do it every time.

Avg 13, city 10 to 11, interstate 14 to 15
