Gas mileage in 4X4

*Squid* · 01-12-2005, 03:22 PM

Well because of all the "&^%**((*%" ice that we've had in my neck of the woods I got to burn a whole tank of gas with the truck being in 4Hi.

I drive over 100 miles a night 6 days a week and my gas mileage has been staying in the 17 MPG range since about 3K miles.I now have 15,500 miles on the truck and using the 4X4 for the whole tank dropped my mileage down to 14 mpg.
This should make some of you very happy to hear(big tow/offroad/owners and city drivers) and I'm glad I could do my part to bring a little happiness into your day.

Squid, only you would "complain" about 14 mpg.

Heck, that's what the rest of us (with BT, OR or city drivers) get all the time!!!

Me complain? Heck no, I'm rubbing it in.

The weather outside is frightful,
My Titan is salty and sighful,
They say we're going to get some more snow.
Winter Blows, Winter Blows, Winter blows.

I only get 14 MPG, but its been 80 degrees outside for the past week here ........

squid man you say your neck of the woods and I look over under your avatar and no address so where does the person known as squid come from with his night driving and his XE that gets the precious 14mpg

wrenrj1 · 01-12-2005, 06:27 PM

I wish I got that mileage in 2wd!

16.5 Mixed.... unless I use a real heavy foot, then it can drop into the 15's.

what is that for there rarjar just in conneticut and the surrounding new england area I dont think anybody buys from anything but the BIG 3 (gmc, ford, dodge) i think since coming up here a year ago and driving up here most of the time I have seen zero titans, maybe a few nissans and I think I saw a toyota tundra or two but that is it I have seen a lot of foreign cars but only the big three trucks and from being down south in virginia it was only making me more angry to be here when all I saw were the big three and seeing as squid said he might get bad weather I though maybe he was up north and I would be happy to know that some of these IMO new england Bas*AR*S would actully drive something other then the BIG 3 becuase i hate the BIG 3 so if i were to know that one of these idiots up here drove a nissan I would be pleased that is all

Meh, the kid thought he might be close to Squid...comparing weather forecasts I might be close to somebody in San Diego based on yesterday's 65 degree day. Except that I'm in Central, IL and we are getting rain turning to snow today and it's a whopping 33 degrees outside.

I was just messing with you a little DCtitan, no harm intended!

This dumb 'ol East Exas redneck has problems reading posts with no punctuation, so I thought I'd rub it in a little on yours!!

Rarjar, I feel your pain. I live in Houston, have a home in Louisiana and 80 acres just outside of Crockett, Tx which we have a few old cows and a small house. It seems every day off I am driving somewhere, but I am not complaining. My wife wants to buy a motorhome and travel. I thought that was what we have been doing. Go figure.
