How many miles to a tank are yal getting?

kingranchCoy · Mar 8, 2012

Just want to see what kind of miles yal are getting out of a tank of fuel..Today i got 195 miles on the rear tank and i was sitting at 1/4 Tank. Avg'd out to 16.4 mpg's. I havent yet used the front tank for a full tank run but figured it should be about the same.

Depending on how I drive I can get 200-250 per tank. Last month I helped my brother move and I got 585 miles out of both tanks, but I also filled them up till it was almost pouring out so.......

If I fill both up, and run them right down I can get about 700-725. For some reason my truck gets great mileage. When I am on the highway I have squeezed 800 out of both tanks. It puts me around 18 city 20 highway.

Dont be a hater LOL I have 3.55 gears in mine so the rpm's are like 1450 at 60 mph. I could sacrifice some mileage for a set of 3.73. 3.55's=no bottom end power.

I run on 3.73's with crappy injectors that will be getting swapped out soon, since I did electric fuel I get 16.5 just in city driving. Mines a manual do don't know if that makes a difference.

Pretty consistent 450 miles to both tanks in winter and 550-600 summer with about 2-3 gals left in each tank

I got 3.55 iirc but I spend a lot of time city driving so.... I want to do an efuel and rr which I hope I get better mileage

I get to 500 miles and fill up. That is usually leaving about a 1/4 tank in each. I get 17 mpg out on the high way running 74mph (2000 rpms) and 15 around town.

I normally get 320 miles out of my rear tank and switch to the front. I normally fill up at around 300 on it to be safe. Depending on my foot itt normally hand calculates to 17.5-19.5 mpg 90% hwy @ 65-70 mph. That's with 3.55s but I feel like I have just as much power as my auto and 4.10s.

I never have and never will run either of my tanks below 1/4 tank, but I usually get between 400-500 miles out of both tanks. I fill both up at the same time, so I never pay attention to how many miles I get from the front or rear tanks by themselves. Usually get between 17-20 mpg highway depending on cruising speed.

i usually get between 350 and 400 miles out of a tank largely depending on the weight of my right foot, a combonation of an extra light foot and tuning ive gained about 4-5 mpg. remember that the rear tank is a little smaller when figuring mileage as well. i also have a reg cab with 3.55's so that helps

i get about 200-250 a tank with my boat but my pedal is not light haha

kingranchCoy · Mar 12, 2012

is the rear tank the smallest? Today i got it to about a 1/8 of a tank and the odometer was sitting at 235. Im gonna fill the rear back up and run off the front to see if i get alittle more. I usually run it to about a half a tank of the rear which is around 120-140 miles and fill it up on around 40 bucks.

purpleheart350 · Mar 12, 2012

I think it depends on your bed size. Could be wrong but on a long bed the rear tank is bigger

Pstroke96 · Mar 13, 2012

it depends on the cab/ bed configuration. least my rc/lb the rear is 18 gallons and the front is 22i think the crew cabs have the smaller front tank

I can only get 200 to a tank before I lose my nerve and switch tanks. I am averaging 15MPG with my current setup, which I think is a little low. My Efuel setup is ready to go on, just need to find the time to do it.

I normally use to get right around 200-225 out of a tank running it almost empty. We will see what it gets now that I got it back.

Drwoodchopper · Mar 15, 2012

I usually can get well over 500 miles per tank. But I am using a CNG supplemental system. I have had a best of 42mpg's and usually get around 30mpg on the diesel and 22mpg's on the CNG.

kingranchCoy · Mar 21, 2012

Its strange... When i go to Stripes (90 percent of stations around here) i only get about 100 miles to a half a tank on the rear..When i fill up at Shell its the same reading.. Now when i go to sams club i get better mpg.. This tank i filled up at sams and right now im sitting about 142 and almost to a half a tank..Im thinking it will avg out to around 17mpg's.
Is there really that much difference in the quality of Diesel?
