Real World MPG with 5th Gen?

Some tip on ECO city driving: When you know, that taking off uses a lot of fuel just do not take off. The key is once you going don't stop, keep it moving. Every time you use brakes you you burn your gas heating the brake rotors.

Driving in a city change your driving style from go-stop-go to go-coast. Even taking off in ECO mode puts you in single digit mpg. Accelerating from 5mph makes a huge difference from taking off from full stop.

Yup, I try not to jack rabbit from a dead stop and try to anticipate the traffic light so I don't have to come to a complete dead stop when ever possible.
 
ah thanks, I was hoping to take a look at it. I am always looking for a better app to track my info.

a few minor nit picks with acar that from what I can tell this app corrects on the surface.
 
First tank down on the new ride, all stock. Flat Florida roads and I do 75% of my miles on the highway. Computer showed 18.5. Hand calculation using my excel tracking sheet shows 18.7. I was expecting 18 so I'm happy. It will be interesting to track this over time.
 
2014 Limited, 52117 miles. Since 1 Jan 2014 (new), average is 18.8 mpg. Doesn't deviate much from that unless I'm in a strong crosswind on the I-35 to Iowa.
 
18.7 mpg long term average per the onboard computer, 48K miles, about 50/50 city and hwy driving, conservative driving style, but some mountain driving.
 
18.9 average for me. 5,600 miles Stock trail except for rhino rack cross bars, rooftop bike racks, and avs hood deflector (those are the only exterior changes).
 
:guitar2:In my 2010 SR5 with a 2.5" lift, 275/70R17 BFG KO2's aired up to 44 psi on stock wheels with Spidertraxx, TRD CAI, and Magnaflow muffler I am getting 14.7 MPG according to the computer. I haven't been so light on the skinny pedal though, I just can't help myself from putting the back window down and listening to the glorious sounds of this beast :rockon:
 
Is everyone reporting their real world mileage based on their computer or mathematical calculations? There has been quite a difference between the two over my last couple of tank fulls. The computer calcs after my last fill up indicated 21.2 but calculating it out based on mileage and gallons to fill indicated over 24 mpg; obviously mostly flat highway use.

I have gotten a manually calculated MPG of 23.4 (road trip) and the computer reported slightly more MPGs, but it was pretty close.

I think most people use the miles/gallons as the "accurate" measurement.
 
Ok I have not reset the computer on my 2014 trail in 9 months. 4500 miles of mostly stop and go work drive. 10 miles there 10 miles back max speed 55 mph, 6 traffic lights. Truck has stock everything except bilsteins all around with the fronts at .85. The unit says 17.0 and has for the last 4 months. YMMV.
I do need to get out more though.
 
Blame the Coops

Been dialing in my tire pressure since throwing the Coopers on the truck. Lots of in town driving too... I need to 're-learn' with the heavier tires...

The computer says I average 14.5 with grappler G2s 585/70/r17 and front runner rack. Millage hasn't really changed with the rack. I do a lot of stop and go (including freeway) and I don't drive crazy but I'm not an old man either. Good to see I'm getting around the worst millage!
 
Mpg

I have a 2016 limited with just over 1000 miles on it
We have been seeing 17.5 mpg 90% highway driving in somewhat hilly areas.
I have been using Sunoco Ultra hoping for better results
Will mileage get better with more time / miles ?
I am guessing the full time 4x4 is killing me ?
