What's your average mpg?

[dieselscout80]

My 2020 Ram 2500 with the gas 6.4 MPG according to the main display is averaging 16.3 (typically about.7 mpg high). However, my “B” odometer/trip meter has tracked 5751 miles which includes all driving including towing and hauling and it shows 15.9.

This 5751 includes towing hauling my tractor multiple trips, towing a 8k travel trailer about 150 miles and many trips hauling hay/feed for livestock.

I can also get 18 mpg at 70 mph using cruise control.

I don’t drive the Ram unless I have to as my car 2015 Lexus ES300H gets about 39 MPG son my commute.

That said I think the Ram has good MPG for what it is.

Well, you did it the long way same as I initially did with actual miles driven. Your way is easier for those to compare your results and my results for those mathematically challenged.

EPA rates my Model S 85 at 380 Wh/mile but I am not driving 70+ MPH very often, have a private not-utility meter on the 50A circuit in my garage to measure actual use, and observe 330 Wh/mile. You can buy utility meters on eBay. Paid $25 free shipping for a brand new digital meter. Then $35 for a box to mount it at Lowes. Have posted pictures of this installation before.

The new Model 3 and Y are EPA rated at 280 Wh/mile from the grid. While MPG numbers are often very optimistic I find the EPA's EV Wh/mile quite reasonable.

The in-car energy use display only shows power from the battery. Does not show power from the grid to charge the battery.

Very Very cool, Ford GT, have you ever posted pictures? How long have you owned it, etc. etc. Probably deserves its own thread somewhere.

Ma and Pa died 6 months apart in 2007. I was a bit down in the dumps when I went to the car show. I guess it was shopping therapy. Believe it or not they weren't moving very well and it was 06 stock they'd been sitting at the dealership for a year. Got a $12.5K discount.
Whenever I drive Raquel (so curvy) I think of the folks.
Acceleration is crazy. Had her up to 160mph on a back highway with no end in sight. The speedo moves from 120 to 160 like a regular car would from 20 to 60.
Sitting on 24000 miles and put away for the winter.
I could never justify one now. They go for $400k and up USA money.
At the time it was a little over $158K taxes in Kanuckistan money. I got that from my inheritance. They both said I should treat myself to something nice after they passed.

2017 Toyota Tundra: 15

Both are long term averages. Living on a mountain has its disadvantages.

I have a clause in my will that no inheritance money is to be spent on lavish vacations, motor vehicles of any kind or boats. If one spend the money on such after inheritance a claw back provision is activate and the money they were supposed to receive divided amongst the other heirs.

I have a cousin with a 2023 Buick Enclave Avenair 3.6L 32/25.

I like the vehicle and asked him what mileage he was getting and his response was less than what they advertised it to be. So I looked it up and found this.

2023 Buick Enclave FWD 6 cyl, 3.6 L, Automatic 9-spd
21 combined city/highway MPG 18 city 26 highway
