Not bad...MPG

Just went though my first tank of gas last night, it was not completely empty, the yellow light had just come on. I was very pleased, it took 24 gal. and I had put 350 miles on the truck from when the dealer filled it up for me. So that's right about 14.5 MPG. This is all in town driving and I have been pretty easy on the gas (no WOT... ) Just about 3 more tanks of gas and i'll let her eat

Titan gas mileage is no worse than any other full size truck. The Titan has gotten a bad rap because it's so much fun to push hard on the gas pedal.

Re: Not bad...MPG

I am getting 15 around town and 16.5 driving 80 on interstate. Best I have ever gotten 19.5 driving 65 with a tailwind. The wind is a huge factor for me. I spend lots of time driving in southern Wyoming where the wind seems to blow every day.

Re: Not bad...MPG

i fill up on half a tank all the time... easier for me to pay 20$ everytime than 45$+ @ once lol....

i dont even measure gas mileage anymore.... although i must be getting just as good as my Supra and a tad worse than the g35, but i enjoy driving it more than both

My Titan's worst mileage is as good or better than the best mileage I ever got out of a Chevy 2500 CC with 454 and 3.73 gears. Every time.
The Titan rocks!

Re: Not bad...MPG

ok i lied, but the lack of testicle factor my sup and titan give me make the gas seem to go faster ....

although mine has a lot of upgrades:
carbon fiber Driveshaft
AEM intake
HKS exhaust and some other goodies.

Of course there is special gas, it's just that they are embarassed to tell you where it came from.

Is your truck even on, or is it just rolling down a hill at idle? I dont' see 18 on the road with my truck.....

I think someone needs to recalculate.
