What's your average mpg?

[scootr]

Still rocking the TDI beetle every chance I get where a truck or van isn't needed. 30 -50 mpg depending upon your need for speed.

With Ford they have a program called Forscan. It can change a lot of different things and one of them is the mpg. I think you’re talking small numbers though, just a couple mpg.

I’ve gotten some incredible fuel mileage with a F150 with a 5.0 V8 and a Chrysler 300c with a 5.7 Hemi. It’s hard to say how good because the displays weren’t designed to show mileage that good. Maybe as high as 50 mpg on the Chrysler. In both cases it was due to a 30 mph tail wind.

I know some crooks and crooked people but I don't know of one that would rewrite the software coding in a motor vehicle to change the MPG being displayed.

Didn't say that. I said there is a way to get inside to tweak the value. Sometimes a scan tool is needed. Ford has an "engineering menu" where one can enter the fudge factor with no tools other than knowing what buttons to press to get there.

I can send you a photo of my Chevrolet truck travel at 60 MPH and getting 80 plus miles per gallon. All you have to do is have the instantaneous MPG option in your DIC (Drivers information center) and let off the gas while going down hill.

I got one of 99.9 MPG in my F-150. But his is more impressive:

lots of cars you can reset the mpg and then the "avg" will be the average since reset... which may be the last 10 seconds with a tailwind, going downhill.

38-40mph a gal.

Before transmission blew on my new 3.0 Duramax 1/2 ton Sierra I was getting over 24 mpg pulling a 1500 lb in total weight of a single axle trailer. In comparison my wife's v6 crossover SUV type vehicle was getting 9mpg pulling same trailer with similar load. 25' class c RV with 6.0 gets 9-9.5 mpg. 8-9 pulling a 20+' foot pontoon or tritoon on a tandem. 6.6 3/4'ton Duramax usually gets close to 20 mpg not pulling anything driving almost 10 over on freeway. My 4 cylinder 5 speed winter beater gets 35 mpg with over 200k on odometer.

2 Motorcycles getting 50 and 70 mpg. Depending upon the weather... if it's sunny and warm they seem to get less....go figure

Do they also get louder in good weather?

2018 Honda CR-V 1.8l engine, 37-38 mpg and on occasion 40-41 mpg strictly highway.
2010 Toyota Tundra 5.7l, 23 mpg, 15 mpg towing the 22' travel trailer.
1992 GMC K3500 7.4l, 12-13 mpg pretty much regardless of load.

 

[masseyrider]

1978 Pontiac Trans Am 6-8 up to 12mpg. Depends on the weight of your foot.
2000 Plymouth Prowler 16-20mpg. More of a looker than all out goer, still fun to drive.
2003 Thunderbird, Bond Edition. Aboot 17-18. Really a comfortable cruiser.
2006 Ford GTs. They can cruise comfortably all day or blow the socks off a Ferrari. 4-5 kicking it or 14-15mpg at a nice cruise.
2021 Dodge Challenger. up to 26-7 on the highway.
2025 Mazda CX70. Around 18-20mpg average.

I’ve been thinking about posting cost per mile of my vehicles and this seems like a good time.
I’ll use $2.50 per gallon for gas and $3.40 for diesel and 13 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity

2017 Ford expedition 18 mpg=13.88 cents per mile
2022 Ram 2500 6.4l gas. 17mpg=14.70 cents per mile
2025 Ram 2500 6.7l diesel 21mpg=16.19 cents per mile
2025 GMC 1500 3.0l diesel 28mpg=12.14 cents per mile
2026 KIA EV9 electric 3.0 mpkw=4.33 cents per mile

I know your prices are different.

The other day I noticed the display read 14.1 MPG on my 2019 F350, and that's not too bad. The missus gets 28 MPG out of her V6 Kia Sorento, and that drops to 23 when I drive it.

Very different vehicles.

Curious if anyone owns GMC's newer turbomax gas 2.7 in line 4 with a turbo. I think it's the base engine on all gm 1/2 tons, It's rated as having pretty mediocre mpgs city or highway 16-17 I believe, wondering what it gets in terms of mpg pulling a trailer of any size? Does have pretty impressive torque and HP for a turbo inline 4 though, to me anyway.

1998 Mercedes 2.3 liter supercharged coup; 26mpg = 28 us cents per mile (gasoline is expensive here).

2000 Mitsubishi 4-door 'Carisma' sedan, 1.9 liter turbodiesel, 38mpg, 18 US cents per mile (Diesel is expensive too, but a lot cheaper than gasoline).

Those are real numbers, I calculate and reset the odometer each time I fill fuel.

Tractor... I think that will be in gallons per mile.

 

[TMGT]

'03 Jetta TDI 55-56mpg summer, 52-54mpg winter.

'07 Ram 2500 6.7L about 15-17 mixed driving and towing.

'06 Jeep Commander 5.7hemi 14-16mpg mixed driving.

'64 Impala 409 dual quads (482cuin) no clue mpg and don't care!

Yamaha SR 500 - 42
Ford Festiva - 33
Hyundai Accent - 35


So average fleet is about 37.
I wonder if anyone has ever figured out the MPG on a Cub-Cadet XT2.
