I actually did this with my Ford Explorer (my wife is driving the titan since her trip is under 5 miles each way and mine is over 20 each way).
My regular driving style on the Explorer (4.0 V6 4x4 Auto) yielded an average of 15.5 mpg. My driving is almost 100% city - takes me about 1 hour to travel the 20 miles - it's all traffics and stop lights.
My last tank, keeping the revs under 2000 (99% of the time), yielded just about 16.9. Only about a 10% improvement. I'll try it for a couple of more tanks and see how it goes.
Curious if there will be a more significant increase with a Titan - bigger engine.
