I am curious to see how many miles other Titan owners are getting per tank. I am not interested in mpg due to possible calculation errors etc. I am not complaining about the gas mileage of my Titan, I am smart enough (arguably) to not expect good gas mileage from a truck. I am most interested in those with 4X4 or the lower gear ratio of the big tow or OR packages, but would like to hear from all Titan owners. Of course, long wheel base Titans have the bigger gas tank, so they will have many more miles per tank. Please list miles from filling tank to approx when the fuel light comes on. I know this is not exactly scientific, but I am curious. My truck sounds like it has a vacuum issue and I would like to know if that may affect gas mileage. My best is 285 miles with 95% interstate driving 70 mph and above. My worst is 225, mostly city driving.

Holy crap dude, lay off your throttle! I get 19-20mpg highway, and 16-17mpg city

My average is about 300-330 in the winter and 340-360 in the summer. You would think with the A/C blasting or with the windows down during the summer would get the poorest mileage. Strange...

I am still waiting to go through my "first tank" of gas. I just got it used from a dealer last Wednesday. Have about 246 miles with 1/4 tank maybe? We will see later on this week, I'm not driving it right now due to my rims not being on. 6.5" lift on stock wheels FTL.

My truck just got sitting for an extended period of time ( 6month deployment) I'm getting about 275 in the city till the light hits, I take it much further though after that, normally till about 325 or so, It still only takes about 22 to 23 gallons to top back off, slightly confusing to me, but I can't really complain otherwise.

I've been getting about 250-260 miles until the light comes on. I only have 2WD, but I have the BT and obviously the lift. Before the lift I would consistantly get about 280 before the light came on.

I usually put 280-300 miles on before the light comes on. In the winter, since idling and warming wastes a lot of fuel, I tend to stay off the pony pedal pretty much.

You can say that again......warming the truck uses more than one would think. I think it's like 3/4 to 1 gallon per hour? :hungry: Some mornings i get back in after she sits and i think dang did someone drive my truck around the block? :dunno:

How are you getting 340-360 miles per tank?

The most I have gotten out of her before filling her up was about 320 winter, spring ,summer, and fall, but I put about 24 gallons back into her, so I still had 4 gallons before complete emptiness. Maybe cause I have the BT package.....:rollingsm

Are you absoultely sure you are filling your's to the maximum? If i just stop where the pump cuts off it's usually a few gallons short because of the filler neck.

That is what I normally try to do. Keep it going until it just clicks off every time I try to put more in..

Why you ask? I am I suppose to get way more than that?

On the Highway I've gotton over 400 miles on a tank, just below 17 MPG. Driving around town I usually get 260, or about 12 MPG, I have 2wd big tow.
 
#17 ·
I rarely wait until the light to come on but usually get 12+/17+ city/hwy for my 4x4 cc. But this winter (now), in the past 2 tanks, it subtantially went down to 10+/14+ :crying: . I don't remember it was that low last winter.

Way more? Nah......but if you stop at the first click or two you arent getting a few extra gallons from my experience.

Thats exactly what I get. It was nice to take a trip 388mi and not filll up.
I was the leader with 2 Chevy avalanches and a Chevy 2500 following me.

It was great when they called me and asked when I was going to fill up!!!! I said, hell I still have 1/2 a tank!
 
#20 ·
no offense, but calculating by miles per tank is going to yield a lot weirder results then asking MPG.

People will never fill up at the same time, some will do it at 1/8 tank, some will do it at the light, some will do it when it's bone dry...

Kind of weird you think this way would be far more accurate than asking mpg lol.....

Anyhooo to answer your question, i fill up around 350 miles or so.

No fair! You have the 38 gallon Industrial Drum!!! :lol: Or do you? With 38 gallons, you should get well over 500 miles to a tank.....

Yes i do, 37 gallons :)

I fill up at 350 miles because after that it costs more then 75 bucks and i have to run the card twice because of the stupid limit.

i average around 13 mpg, so i'm usually down about 3/4 of a tank or so when i fill up.

I usually get about 330 till the light. I'll go till 370 before I fill up, and it usually only takes 24-25 gallons.

On a recent trip, I went from farmington UT to Primm NV on a single tank. 477 miles. It still only took 24 gallons to fill it.

And I always get another gallon or two after the initial stop of the pump.

I just bought a '06 SE Crew, 2wd, 22k miles, about 10 days ago.

First tank was a mixture of highway (drove it from Daytona back to Albany, Ga.) and city. Light came on around 350, I filled it up at 362... 17.0 mpg.

Second tank I filled up at 340 (light not on yet) with 22 gallons, averaging 15.45 with 100% city miles.

Have I said that I LOVE this truck?
