2.7 MPG

Reset this right before my commute this morning. It is 35 miles across the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. All freeway. Cruise is set on 79 which I ran most of the way. There was some stop and go for construction.






Pretty impressive I think for a large vehicle driven at a pretty high rate of speed.

That is pretty impressive. When I first saw the subject line, I read it as getting 2.7 MPG. That's what caught my attention.

Even on my 3.5EB, I see frequent excursions into the 25-30 MPG range. Obviously it can't sustain that, and it's typically going downhill, or more commonly very moderate speed on level terrain.

I will also comment that I've found that when I'm hill climbing, if I just shift into a lower gear (via manual mode), and maintain 1500+ RPM during the hill climb, I will get better mileage than if I have the tranny set to "auto" (any mode).

Don't go to the bank with the Lie-O-Meter #'s. Mine is usually high by about 1 MPG.

Mines fairly accurate, I check it almost every time I fill up. I hope they put the 2.7 in higher trim level trucks in the future.
