Just cleared 1k miles today. 2019 TRDP is averaging 16.4 mpg in mixed driving at 5-6k ft elevation. Added a Pedal Commander two weeks ago and it has improved 0.1mpg. I'm pretty sure this is as good as it gets for me.
Real World MPG with 5th Gen?
- Thread starter AZDropTop
- Start date
I also cleaned the TB in my 2016 Trail and the mpg decreased lol. I went from combined 16mpg to 13mpg at best!

Wow...I may look into getting a CAI. Did you install both together or at separate times?

My 2020 Off Road Premium has less than 500 miles on it, but I'm getting 19 mpg mixed. I'm either going 70mph on the highway, in bumper to bumper traffic or taking short trips around town
Installed the intake a couple of days before the exhaust.

Drove about 900 miles from Texas to Arizona with a 5th gen T4R with about 2500 miles on the odo.
Mods done - stock size BFG kO2s, steel low pro bumper, and steel front skid plate with about 100 lbs in the trunk.
Overall MPG over this distance was 19.1 based on the computer. I departed very early in the morning and she was at 17 ish for a long time when temperatures were low (20-25 F) but mileage got better as the day went by. Speeds were consistently in the 70-80 mph range through this distance. Will be driving to LA today and will drive back to Texas after the holidays but with a front runner slimline installed so will do a mileage comparison over the same route and same distance with a roof rack installed..

Im just passing 1000 miles on my '19 Pro.
Lots of stop and go interstate traffic (I-270 for those in the DMV). Its lucky for me to cruise at any speed, and anytime I finally get to 5th gear I have to break down to near stopping. In other words, this car was not made for my commute. Im fortunate work pays my gas.
Im at 17.4 as of today, but its been bouncing between 17.3 and 17.5 for a week now.
Im expecting it to raise a bit further, but not much. max out around ~17.7 is my estimate. Probably low 18s when my commute is no longer on I-270 in the future.

Completed my one way journey..1500 miles in total including about 50 miles of light trail driving..The computer is showing 19.3. I think the AT and the extra weight probably shaved 0.5 mpg so not all that bad. Installing my roof rack today so will see how much hit the fuel mileage takes...From what I've read, it should be about 1 mpg since I'm also getting a wind fairing..
Yeah and not to mention the fact most good trailheads have pavement right up to them, or within 100 yards. Plus, I just did not trust the Middle East over the next decade. I could handle $500 in gas for 18 months, but over yearrs and years and especially if Iran and Saudi get into it, I did not want to absorb $4+ gas much longer.

I’m just on the other side of the big scary bridge in a 19 Pro and getting ~15 mpg running 32 psi f&r, what psi are you running?

I wouldn't trust the dash readout, and if fill ups are not done the same each time even hand calculations will not be very accurate. Topping off the tank will not provide an accurate number of gallons for the number of miles driven, instead you should take the number of gallons when the pump cuts itself off, each time. I have a hard time believing some of the numbers others have posted stating that they are getting 19 and 20 mpg out of these things, I just don't see how it is possible. This is not to say that anyone is lying, but those numbers just don't seem reasonable based on my experience and OCD level of tracking and calculating (I am a quality engineer and therefore an excel nerd).
I got my '18 OR in November '17 and begin tracking each fill up around the 5k mark in late January '18. I currently have just over 32k and am averaging 16.7 mpg all conditions. Hit the sand a couple of times a year and trails in the mountains a couple of times, otherwise it is a pavement pounder. Only mods are Dobinson's suspension front and rear to 'level' the vehicle which equated to ~1" front and maybe .5" rear, and stock size ridge grapplers in C load. In my calculations I included notes at mileages where suspension and tires were added, as well as noting long highway trips that would skew calculations.
Happy calculations.....
