Re: New to Titans...
I didnt buy the truck for the mileage either but the 23.9mpg I got was between Wichita and Atlanta with the cruise set between 63 and 66mph. I did the math the old fashioned way and by the little meter and both were w/in about .5mpg of each other. I was very impressed but havent been able to get the same mileage since then. The trip was very flat overall, the entire 1000miles the truck only downshifted once with the cruise set. Now on the return trip, doing 80+ I was lucky to get about 16.
I will agree that it isn't normal or expected and around town with a mix I do Get about 15mpg. And now that I don't care about paying for gas I get about 17-18 hwy doing 70-75.
That aside, like the others have said, I really could care less what it gets since it's so fun to drive and has all the power when you need it. If you're worried about paying more for gas or that is a deciding factor then you're looking at the wrong type of vehicle. It takes alot to get 5300+ pounds moving as fast as the Titan can do it but I would be willing to bet it will beat the hell out of just about all of the dumb cars you see with their coffe can exhaust that people have put thousands into only to make it half as fast as a stock T. And yet you can still tow the broke down Civic or haul a load of whatever you need when the day is done.
