Time to figure this out

[chetJ]

Alright, so recently there seems to be a lot of conversation that has been going on about the MPG of the 5th gen T4R. From all the valuable information on here it looks like several factors go into determining what kind of MPG one gets.

It would be great if all of you could tell us how many MPG's you have gotten for the last 4 fill ups and also answer yes or no to the following questions. I could then run some stats and share the results
Here are the questions-

Is your driving mostly highway or city?
Are you a lead foot or not?
Do you have any mods on your truck?
Do you idle your truck in the morning / at start up?

If you all can think of any other questions that need to be answered, include them in and also answer them with a simple yes or no.

Thanks
Dr.J

or if you are in a hilly area?

Are you using the onboard computer to figure the milage or miles driven at end of each fill-up?

I have always used hand calculated mileage estimates. So, if everyone could report those, that would be great and uniform

my 2010 TE currently has 13,800+ miles with >90% HWY driven (@70mph) in use; no warm-ups;occasionally lead foot@>70mph to pass!;some hilly city driving;no mods except for daily extra weight(emergency gear, supplies,tools) in rear cargo compartment with "hand calculated" 20mpg average all around.

I think it's also important to specify if your vehicle is 2wd or 4wd. I believe typically 4wd vehicles get a lower MPG. I would be interested to see if this proves out.

I have a LIMITED, so it's all wheel drive. I've had it for 30 days.

In town, I DO NOT HAVE a lead-foot. I ease into the throttle when leaving lights etc, and try to get the ECON light to light up as often as possible when driving around town.

Computer says I'm getting 18.3 MPG in town.

On the highway, I drive pretty fast and put my foot in it much more often...90-95 mph mostly when I am driving on the highway. Computer says I get only 17 mpg when on the highway.

After 30 days of mixed driving 70% town vs 30% highway.. I am getting 17.6 MPG

Here is some info on my truck so far. Right at 14k miles. Pretty easy driver, 70-75 on highway, always use regular fuel. No mods to truck, 2WD

All MPG's below are calculated.

Avg since bought (total miles/total fuel) = 21.9
Highest=27.0
2nd highest=25.5
3rd highest=25.3

Lowest=17.5 (1st fillup after purchase)
2nd lowest=18.8
3rd lowest=19.2

Did a 3500 mile =/- trip when it had about 5k on it and miles/total fuel = 23.8
My mpg computer generally agrees with calculation within a tenth or two mpg.
