Lie-O-Meter is usually high.

To hand calculate, take the miles you've driven and divide that by the gallons of fuel used.

thanks, i knew it was something close to that just couldn't figure it out of course hah

When did you start caring about fuel mileage.:tree:

Lmao. I don't care about mileage but cruise does help.

Lmao. I don't care about mileage but cruise does help.

when i use cruise the rpm's seem to spike quickly when going up a hill or something like that. and I think the fuel mileage wouldn't be as beneficial.

I tried it. Got almost 600miles to a tank in the rocky mountain passes. Not on cruise I'd be lucky to get 500.

 

[David S.]

jesus 600 miles?? damn. I'll have to use cruise the whole way on the trip to schields

 

[White_monster]

Ya. Cruise really helps.

 

[pog]

I've gotten a little over 600 miles out of my 2010 as well, that big tank under the long beds is nice.

That mileage in the mountains or on the plains? Rockies are a lot of up and down with some steep climbs. I also had 1500lbs in the box and was doing 65mph. Glad to see someone getting good distance on a tank?

I'm in the mountains of Utah/Idaho.

Sweet. I never looked were your at. You got the same sort of mountain range to drive thru.

 

[Big Bore]

In order to hand calculate properly you need to compare your speedo with a GPS and calculate the percentage it's off at the speed you will be driving, it varies with speed. Our new car is 1.38% off (high) at 70mph.

So looks like you guys are averaging around 19mpg? Looks like you're finally getting what my OBS F350 CCLB SRW with 4:10's was getting when it was new. LOL

BTW, how can someone be old enough to drive an not know how to calculate mileage. Thats like a 4th grade word problem. LOL

I think hes in 3rd grade. But hes working his way up! LOL

have to remember his 600 miles per tank is a long bed... bigger gas tank.
