ok then, I get around 13-15 mpg city and 15-19 hwy. My 06 Titan did alittle better in gas milage.

I'm not being smart, alot of people post here about their gas milage, and they get the same answer---its a truck. How many miles do you have on your truck? also the type oil you use, airfilter, tire pressure. I hope this helps

stickers lie. if you wanna go by that, you'll be complaining on any vehicle you buy. its a big truck, with a lot of power.

there not that many options to get it up. when i put my CAI in, it went up by 1-2mpgs. but there aint much thatll get it any higher than that.

Yeah, EPA estimates suck...especially on heavy vehicles as they don't do stop and go driving.

The EPA is revising its standards this year or next...I forget which.

Its a full size truck with a V8, all trucks of this size get similiar mileage.

Maybe....but 12-13 for CC 4x4 is actually pretty common...especially with the big gears.

The Titan doesn't get good gas mileage????

I love these posts where people are complaining about bad gas mileage on a large v8 engine that has to lug a 5500 lb truck around all day. And I might add that it lugs that 5500 lbs around pretty well.

And soon, someone will come along and tell us how good their gas mileage is. Relatively speaking, of course. Then someone will call BS. And on, and on, and on.....

I have a 4wd Titan as well. I get about the same as you do. Go to the website that was posted previously and do a side by side comparison with the other 1/2 ton 4wd p/u's (with any v-8 engine option they offer) and you will see that they are almost all identical - some are actually worse than the Titan.

Quit b 'itchin,

How much is your gas down there??? Here in Canada, We're at 1.13/L, which is roughly 4.50/Gallon.

I bought this truck knowing full well what I was getting into for fuel. I gave up fuel economy for all the great practical uses a truck like this offers. Plus, we are avoiding a stupid mini-van, cuz the crewcab is huge inside!

Sell it to someone who will appreciate it and go get a Smart car or Prius- then see what you can haul home from Home Depot.

Mine went from 12.7-ish to just over 10MPG after I added a CAI... :(

What ever happened to the guy that is averaging 17mpg in the city. He did some type of fuel filter bypass or something like that...:poke:
