My mpg



This is my avg mpg with the last 3 full ups. The last tank had a 100 mile round trip of straight highway at 55-65 mph. The rest is a good 50/50 mix of unloaded back and forth to work driving. I'm fairly happy with the mpg I'm getting. Lie o meter says 10.2 which it's always off by .2 it seems. Anyway I thought I'd share my mpg and the app road trip, definitely a great app!

That "Road Trip" app does look cool. Thanks for sharing.

My MPG

Last three fills on my 05 F250 CC SB 4X4 V10, been right @ 12 to a high of 12.8.

Had babied it was pulling 11.2-11.5, last three fills putting my foot in her, up to 65, some pulling of the tralier, 3000#, A/C most of the time. I'm a happy camper!

Got a road trip coming, pulling the loaded trailer, 3000+ @ 70-75mph, A/C a MUST! Will post those tanks.

Last year did the same w/F150 4.6, you don't want to know my mpg that time! Could not even mantain 70 with the load.

I LOVE my V-10! All stock, couldn't ask for a better TRUCK.

P.S.

Two of those miles was on fresh new asphalt, I dug two holes in it coming back home after getting a little foot heavy turning around!

This truck will do anything you ask of her!

Now that I'm not babying her, she is pulling right @ 12mpg. The old F150/4.6 was pulling 15-15.5 all the time.

10X the truck, losing about .20%mpg, I can live with that!

Sounds like your getting great mpg! I'm running 285-75-17s right now so it's not helping my mileage much

Half are unloaded the others are pulling a dump trailer with loads between 5-12,000lbs. I'm sure you can see which ones were the heavier loads. Unloaded I'll get 10.5 consistently with in town and towing I'm in the 7-9 range. The dual wheels don't help either. But this is honest mpg. Too bad more gas/diesel guys don't have this or other apps and could post their averages. Not just their best tank.

Well I'm sure some guys in fact do get 20's. It's known that diesels get some decent mpg numbers. But what's the average? I've gotten 11.5 a few times (before I had the app) but that is by far not my average. Best tanks are not what a truck averages.

Just don't miss entering a fill up, it'll throw it all off from what I can see with the app. But truly I haven't explored the app too much. Just entering the data for the truck and car.

Eh....depends on cab configuration, 2x4/4x4, driving like you stole it or having an egg under the pedal. Mine gets worse being a dually.
