brobradh77 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 seems like I average 12.6 MPG and have since I have owned the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyc_2006_SS Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 It depends on a lot of conditions like (speed, city/highway, weather, etc..). Most of my driving is on the highway and my best mileage is when I keep it below 70mph. My average is about 16+mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 If you do a lot of city driving you will average 13-ish, I would say that's normal. The lockup converter is what gets you the killer MPG, and it only engages when you are in 4th gear above a certain speed, I think 45-mph??? Set the cruise control at 65-70 for any distance and you should see 16+. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big O Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Sometimes winter fuel eats up a few MPG's also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montanass Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Sometimes winter fuel eats up a few MPG's also. mine sucks right now, but in the summer i get an average of 16, but that's driving like an old man 90% of the time, I work for good fuel economy, I've been known to get around 11-12 during the winter, which includes LOTS of idle time.

rsharpe13 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 damn mine came brand new with a Radix and the average on the computer said 8.
