Just Broke 20 Mpg

Yup, I am shouting, jumping for joy, ringing the church bell, etc.

Before I went on vacation, I filled up drove to the airport and back, driving exactly 55 on cruise no heavy stomping. 250 miles, 12 gallons!

20.83333 MPG!!

Only down side someone stole 2 of my valve caps. (Should I get the flashing ones?

)

That's great mileage! Do you have the offroad or tow package?

C'mon Doghouse, what have you been smoking?

Apparently not the tires!

I'll have to try the 55 mph but I don't know if my Titan will let me!

I bet hitting the 20 mpg barrier feeels just like discovering a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. I have to give you two big thumbs up........i don't think i could drive 55 mph for that long on the highway and STICK TO IT

I have both the Big Tow and the Off Road packages.

I do not always drive this way. I just wanted to see what it could be if I tried hard!

Very impressive! I'm trying real hard to take it easy to see if I can get good mileage but it's a hard chore to do. This tank I'm about at half a tank with 175 miles so far. We'll see how it does.

There is a lot of measurement error in mileage calculations. Now if you can give us the average across 10 tanks of fuel, I will believe that. To get a really high single reading, drive from Tonopah, NV with a full load of rocks to Kingman, AZ and measure that tank. Al
