Walmart fuel = mileage plummets

[RedRice589]

Must be those damn floridians...... Lol yea I think it is the fuel but there are hills in north Florida and flats down south... Plus humidity does play a factor I'll get 18-20 all morning then the next day same run I'll be lucky to get 16.

Walmart doesn't carry there own special fuel. We delivery to them occasionally here. Its just unbranded fuel.

Yep Wal mart fuel island is actually ran by Murphy's. Wal mart tells murphy what price they will buy fuel for they sign a contract and Murphy goes to getting the cheapest they can find. I used to be in the business selling fuel and buying fuel and delivery of it. Wally World don't do nothin that ain't gonna line their pockets

Where you located that everyone does 80?

You have never been to Texas. We even have a highway that has a 80MPH speed limit. Amd most are 75PMH.

I've been wondering about the Wal-Mart fuel. Filled up for $3.58 a gallon a few days ago. Going to see what kind of milage I get on a full tank of it, compared to the truck stop fuel.

I've driven my truck almost 1000 miles and am averaging 19.2MPG right now.

The speed limit is 75 here. So you can run 90 and still take defensive driving so you don't get a ticket. It's pretty sweet

 

[PSD-BLACK-CLOUD]

I average 12 mpg driving like above post

 

[6.0Dually]

Damn! My dually was getting 15 mpg.

I run ford octane additive and Lucas tune up (2) small bottles in every tank. I get 2 mpg more. Seems to make a big difference on performance too.keeps injectors clean, runs quieter And we have the fastest highway in America here in Austin. 85 mph speed limit. I get 12 pulling trailer at 80. 14 not pulling trailer at 80.
410 rear end dually.

Oh I forgot.
It WILL run over 100mph uphill pulling a trailer passing a semi.
Been there. Done that... Computer drops to 10mpg.
Great for cleaning out the turbo.

Not exactly the smartest idea. Trailer tires aren't really designed for high speed. And imagine a break away at 100mph.

I try and fill up at Shell because of that reason. But it doesn't matter what fuel I run, with my driving habits, both of my 6.7s only average 14-16mpg 80% of the time. Occasionally, I'll have a trip to Houston or something and it'll show 16-18 on the dash reading.

Got 15 today on the way to Houston

So far, I've gotten the same thing driving between Converse and my ranch out by Rocksprings. Both with the Murphy and Shell fuel. No additives.

I seem to do better when I add a big gulp of Power Services Clear Diesel or Marvel Mystery oil to my fuel.;
