390 miles on one tank!

RedMunsta · 06-20-2004, 02:14 PM

I am currently in Savannah, Ga on vacation. I drove from Pittsburgh to Wytheville, VA on a tank (315 miles). I though wow, great! Then I filled up in Wytheville and drove all the way to Savannah. When I pulled in to the station this morning to fill up here, the trip odometer read 390 for that tank of gas. I put 24 gallons in it and hope the good mileage continues.
For those of you interested, I drove consistently 5 to 7 miles an hour above the speed limit, except on I-95 from the I-26 interchange to Savannah, which you have to do at least 80 or you'll get run over.

I'm consistently getting near 400 miles to one tank during highway driving, probably could hit/pass 400 if I would keep driving a little longer with the low fuel light on. I know my old truck would go at least 30 miles with the light on, I wonder what the Titan's threshold is set at.

Nice - It ought to get better because yesterday I drove 300.7 miles and put in 16.7 gallons to fill back up (18 mpg). When I hit the gas station, it was at approx a quarter tank.

I pulled out of branson, MO, with 40 miles on the tank and drove straight through to Evanston, IN, and filled up with 440 miles on the mileage meter and took 20 gal of gas -- 22 mpg. I have an XE KC 2WD. It had 4000 miles on the odometer. I had 42 pounds of air in the tires and no mods or bed cover. I ran the air only the last hour. I drove about 70-75 the whole way.

After tanking, I drove to Beckley, WV, another 400 and it took 20 gallons there. Most of this trip was mountainous and I ran the air almost the whole way.

I driving from Northern Virginia to Orlando soon so I am interested to see what happens closer to sea level.

I'm lucky if I get 13mpg. Pedal to the floor might be the problem.

I get about 380 a tank before gas light comes on. Its a 36 gallon tank though. Highway is great, City sucks bigtime.

I get 12.7 mpg consistently. Combo of city/highway. CC SE No BT,OR

I have been getting at least 420 miles between fills (15 x 28 = 420), with alot left in the tank. My actual mpg is running between 17 & 18.

Got you all beat!! I bought my truck in DC and drove it to kansas city Knowing that I wanted to see how many miles could be driven on a tank to ensure that i would never run out (with a 5 gal tank in the bed for backup). I drove this thing for over 125 miles with the "low gas" light on and still ended up chickening out and stopped for gas. Having traveled about 525 miles i put 27.3 gal in the tank!! I always drive about 6 over all speed limits.

Damn, that light does come on early.

Well up until about 4000 miles I didnt see any difference no matter what I did. At about 4k I started to see a difference when I drove highway. Last highway tank was over 16 mpg. In town is running about 13.5. I have just over 6k on the truck now. Im hoping it gets better, but Im not to dissapointed with where its at now considering the power and size.
