yeah, thanks man, I did a search and just found that link. I should have searched first instead of being lazy. By the way, that is an excellent fleet of cars you have there. I had a fern green 99 M3 coupe manual for a while, (hit 150 mph one time) and have owned 7 Land Cruisers in the past, 2 -40s, a FZJ80 and 4 -62s.

My average this year is 15.2 mpg. This is on a bone stock 02 PSD with 354k miles.

I had it up to 17mpg on a road trip two years ago.

Old thread revival, but a common question.

My MPG's are in my signature.

But, for those on a mobile device, they are as follows.

18.5 MPG unloaded/12 MPG w/ 2011 Montana High Country 313RE in tow.

About the same as me. I can squeeze 13 towing the Crusader 5er by driving real easy (13.3 is the best it ever got towing, and 20.5 is the best it ever got empty.

Close to a years worth of fuel. 19,770 miles 1,381.499 gallons you can tell what tanks were towing and what were driving empty but I also have it split out.

What app or software did you use to create those graphs?

Here's my mileage for the last 10 years. Every time I fill up, I write down the gallons and odometer. I live in Alaska where winters typically drive my mileage down to 12.5 mpg on a tank. The temps where I live are not terribly cold, occasionally down to zero, but often in the teens...this is enough to have a big effect on mileage. The bottom orange line is the Hobbs hour-meter showing an average fuel usage of 2-3 gallons per hour.

Going all the way back to the OP (thanks Sous for resurrecting a 7-year-old-thread).

A little research shows how the OP got 26 MPG (allegedly)...

If your odometer isn't working properly, you get better fuel MILEAGE...just sayin'.
